Linda Malick
My work is strictly hand-built ceramics; I do not use a wheel. Each piece of my work is one-of-a-kind.
I feel no compunction to excel at creating perfected, repeatable forms. Rather, I prefer to allow ad hoc inspiration lead me into experimentation. Building with clay provides a sense of sovereignty missing in a world where most are asked to conform.
Clay has been an essential part of my healing: physically, mentally and spiritually. By choosing the work I produce, my art becomes a source of liberation—leading me to explore, interpret and transform ideas within this malleable medium. Self-expression through clay captivates my imagination and has helped me recognize and reveal my wholeness.
