Ceramic Art Treasure: Maria Wojdat







Maria Wojat is an UK ceramic artist. She creates sculptural vessels that are forms which derive from observing everyday domestic ceramics. When she works with the clay she allows the clay to form itself, to create a shape by a force of action. Her prices is using outsize pestles and mortars to pound and grinding action, to see how it reacts with the clay. In her statement she said, "The journey is making a piece is by spontaneity and control, the organic and the geometric." She finds that color is very important in her sculptures. The element of color is brings out in the piece a warm vibrant and joyful palette that has evolved and continues to evolve to echo the nature of the forms. Her works references bowls, and the investigating its use. They are usually placed in pairs and groups with the relationships of lines, form and color. The colors help to either bring the pieces together or standing alone.
