Patricia Alander
Patty is interested in a variety of media, and the gallery
features her sawdust fired pottery and colored clay monotypes.
She enjoys the dance of color in both her pottery and prints.
The monotypes are made by layering colored slip onto a clay slab. After building up enough color and gestural marks, Patty pulls a print. The top surface of the slab becomes the bottom layer of the print. Some of the bottom layer shows through and some of the next layer becomes visible too. Although she plans what the monotype will look like, Patty never knows for sure how much of the next layer will be exposed.
Patty is constantly
experimenting and doing what she can to emphasize composition
with color, however the end result always has a bit of the
unexpected. It's the dichotomy of the expected and the element of
surprise - this dance of color - that she enjoys most.
