"My work lives at the intersection of organic forms grounded in the natural world, and digital 3D algorithmic design. As engineer turned artist, I think of my work as mathematics in porcelain, celebrating the connection between art and science.
Perception, balance, and translucency are key elements that permeate my work...My work is slipcast paper-thin translucent porcelain, often colored with delicate soluble metal watercolors — I am especially drawn to cobalt blue, a reference to the ineffable blue of water and distance. I think of these objects as containers for light and atmosphere.” - Mark Goudy (American b.1955)
