The Lovers were created from the reject clay of someone's else intent to make pottery on the wheel. These two lumps of clay were supposed to be cups. I saw them on the side of the table and their shapes called me in. They were side by side and it was already telling a story. They were meant to stay together.
What I love about these two pieces is, their mobility and by this, while changing their positions vis-a-vis of each other , they tell a different story. The pull and tug of Lovers, sometimes stuck at the hips and sometimes turning their backs on each other.
I glazed them in two different colors. It represents the Anima and Animus, beings have in themselves. We all have a bit of feminine and masculine energy inside of us.
