Entrance/Entrance E. M. Tietjen High-Fire Stoneware, Ceramic Glazes and Oxides 10" x 12" x 10" $675 “Entrance/Entrance” plays with the double meaning of the homophone “entrance” ― since entering a mysterious, enclosed place can often enchant and mesmerize. I am interested in the textures and natural processes of the living world, and attracted to forms in nature that demonstrate its movement and power. I like complexity of shape and color, elemental forces, and the layers and parts in living things that record a history of their own growth and interdependence. I like to be reminded that I am a biological being, necessarily connected to all life on Earth. Without copying nature, my work in clay strives to evoke feelings of recognition — that the world we depend on looks rather like that, feels like that, invites us in like that — or challenges us with mystery like that.
