Tara Davidson
I am a potter and sculptor working with stoneware and sculptural crank.
I am fascinated by form and texture, and by the way a surface comes alive after firing.
These forms evolve organically during the making process and are designed to withstand sunshine and rain-to be strong and resilient, just as I aspire to be.
After my father was brutally attacked and killed, I stepped away from shows and exhibitions. In my grief and trauma, I turned to the studio, focusing on making what brought me joy. I found myself creating large pumpkins and gourds, and I am so grateful for the creative process that helped me navigate such a difficult time. These pieces are incredibly close to my heart and hard to part with, as they contain hidden messages and tokens-the only way I could continue creating while still holding my father close.
