Bowls:
Looking at the four artists, Warren Mckenzie, Shoji
Hamada, Linda Arbuckle, and Suze Lindsay, they each have a different approach to what they like to create.
Warren McKenzie:
His main objective was to keep his pots as low a price as possible so they would be more accessible to the public. Many of his pots are currently in museums! His ultimate goal he stated was to make everyday pots. Many of his pots are bland colors with a more unfi
nished look.
Many of his pots have impurities that make them seem more artistic. He puts grooves into the sides as well as thin frames on his bowls.
Shoji Hamada:
His bowls are very simplistic. He uses the “corners” of the bowl when painting. He uses the space on his bowls evenly when panting. They are also mostly the same shape that I saw when I googled him. He has shallow bowls with a thicker rim. His bowls are more aimed toward what they call “drinking bowls” instead of soup or cereal bowls.
Suze Lindsay:
Suze’s ceramics are very contemporary and designy. She uses the whole space for her artwork on it; she also has several pieces where she purposely puts cracks into her bowls. She is extremely creative and makes her pieces with a lot of the same color and patterns.
Linda Arbuckle:
Linda seems to be greatly interested in plants on her bowls. She paints fruits and flowers and leaves on everything. The color pallet she uses is filled with yellows, greens, reds, purples and oranges. She does not seem to stray much from that. Her bowls are multi purpose and could be easily used in an every
day setting!!
