Christine Pedersen
Christine Pedersen makes strong, sculptural forms in clay, as centre-pieces for the home. Her work is characterized by intense surface development: pinched and hand-built ceramics often juxtapose deeply fissured surfaces and textures, with clean, elegant lines. Christine works in series: each related piece is one of a kind, and they may include subtle, or bold and juicy, colour. Many pieces have unglazed surfaces, emphasizing the character of the clay; her unglazed porcelain, presented ‘in the white’, works with light and shadow to complete the narrative. Landscape, early art and pottery, science, and her love of natural history, are referenced throughout her work. A lifelong clay worker, she completed the Jewellery + Metals program at Alberta College of Art + Design (now AUA) in order to develop multi-disciplinary skills in jewellery, metalwork, and sculpture, and has since worked as part of a team developing public art projects.
“I will be presenting work from different series for TOAF63: Fenestrations—sculptural forms punctuated by surface openings and form disruption; Flow—intensely textured, torsional vessels; vases; sculpted Landscape vessels; and new Moon jars will be coming soon. Please check individual descriptions to note which pieces are water safe, and which are just for dry arrangements. It is incredibly hard to pick just 10 pieces to show online: work will be from medium to extra-large in size, and will be predominantly made from porcelain. I will share lots of additional work, tiny versions, groups of pieces photographed in my home, and vases with flowers from the garden on instagram and Facebook. I hope you will use the email link to discuss details, curate a group of pieces, or let me know if I can list something for you on this profile.”
