NICHOLAS BERNARD
Scottsdale, AZ • porcelain & earthenware

"Form is everything; I stretch clay to make canvases for decoration. Texture, pattern and color are successful additions when the shapes are impeccable. My inspirations are many, from the classic forms of antiquity to the simple, graceful pots made by indigenous peoples and the work of modern studio potters. This current body of work deals mostly with simple clean form. Dramatic color and subtle texture accentuate what I hope is a mastery of the traditional vessel form."

SUSAN MIDDLEMAN
Pittsburgh, PA • oil on paper

"Pictures and Words: I have made pictures and various other things for a long time. I am a collector of photographs. I get an idea, then use it as a reference point and go from there. After that I leave it to the viewer to bring the story. Everyone has a different point of view. It makes it interesting. They are the story."
