I would like to tell you all a little more about my work, typically, it can be read as a bit 'dark' by the viewer at first... although that is not my intention. My work is about life experiences, moments in time, and the core of those moments, the lessons, the missed beauty, the acceptance that allows one to find the beauty of the moment and inform the next moment. There is usually a duality found in the work, it can go either way. In a way I feel like the work can serve as a measure of our own state at the moment, is the glass half empty or half full? I hope you enjoy viewing these works and will visit my personal website to see more: www.mariegibbons.com. I also have a studio site: www.evbstudio.com and an ONLINE studio: evbstudioHOME.ning.com where people can experience some great little clay workshops through video and pdf instructions!
