Jennifer McCurdy

Jennifer McCurdy works as ceramic artist choosing to work primarily in porcelain. She is inspired by the ordered symmetry and asymmetry of natural forms revealing the growth of life and its movement. She takes the patterns that she sees around her and integrates them in to her forms. Jennifer uses the emanative space in her work to the express the qualities of light and shadows. Showing the dramatic concept of the light and shadow, she puts on a white microcrystalline glaze. Creating movement and balance in her form is important in her current body of work. With the use of curving patterns in her work she is able to create an energy to the work. She fires her work to cone 10, where the porcelain becomes non-porous and translucent, and one of the hardest surfaces known to man.
