Overview: Monique Bousquet is a ceramic artist of international acclaim. Working intuitively, she lets the porcelain guide her to create sensuous, handbuilt sculptural collages of layered organic and geometric compositions. Found objects impressed into fresh porcelain provide appealing texture. The vibrant, hand painted glazes of her porcelain forms (fired at about 2200" F) shimmer with subtle gradations of saturation. Glass is often fused in the glaze firing, adding a rich depth to the work. Each one-of-a-kind composition signed, numbered, and dated by the artist requires hours of work to create. |
