Kay
Lynne Sattler has engaged in an exploration of materials
which brings ageless elements together to form unsurpassed sculptural
forms. Her techniques are a sophisticated balance of hand
constructed clay, juxtaposed with the controlled use of precious
metals. The dense rich clay forms are but a canvas upon
which she applies the ethereal shimmer of her chosen metals.
Through
meticulous gilding techniques, she coaxes light to live in a
serene sanctuary within the body of the clay. The collaboration
is highly contemporary, yet primitive; exuding a sensuous and
subtle elegance. To the surprise of the viewer, each piece glows
from within in the faintest of light, and recasts the role of
sculptural clay in today’s art collections.
Drawing inspiration from the enduring and ephemeral forms of
nature, one is drawn into the primal, pure and precise way in
which Kay Lynne Sattler’s artistry evokes the elemental
essence of creation.
Recent
honors include:The prestigious 25th Gold Coast International
juried ceramic exhibition in Australia.
