Artist's Statement
Mary Alison Lucas is known for her biomorphic ceramic sculptures, rich in texture and color.
Fascinated by entomology, botany and microscopic imagery, Lucas aims to capture moments of exhaustion and renewal, beauty and grotesque. Throughout the process she is contorting, pressing, slicing, smashing, prodding and stitching while nurturing, supporting, and soothing the materials. With the intention to blur the boundaries between structure and surface, a sculpture punctured with finish nails is initially vulnerable. Liquid clay coats and reinforces this metal bond and layers of glazes strengthen the overall structure.
Mary Alison Lucas received her Masters of Fine Art at University of California at Davis after completing her Bachelors of Fine Art at the California College of Arts; her studio is in Oakland, California.
