Ceramic Art & Sculpture
is an artist and clay sculptor. Her sculptures of figures, torsos, and busts portray expression, myths, stories and elements of ancient civilizations.
Kerry Kirkpatrick
grew up in Arizona and has always felt a deep connection with the ancient strata and rock formations in the Southwest — many that are a deep red color like the clay she frequently uses.
She also feels drawn to the architecture and art of ancient Mediterranean and Yucatan civilizations and has spent much time traveling and studying in those areas.
Clay as a medium
Kerry primarily hand builds with clay and coil slab technique but also uses the potters wheel.
She pushes her comfort zones with clay and experiments with new techniques and sculptural compositions to find her authentic expression.
Each piece has a story and that evolves during the composition and is sometimes formed by the clay body itself and how it naturally forms by chance.
