Jeremy Jernegan




Jeremy Jernegan's work stood out to me on accessceramics.org because of its highly unique combination of images and ceramics. The description for most of the work above is: screen printed mono print, cut to size after firing and installed in structure fabricated from stainless steel. I love his use of color and how it truly evokes the feeling of ocean waves, however, I am particularly drawn to his black and white pieces. I have a pretty strong affinity for black and white, and love his he works with it in his pieces. I also love how his work, though already three-dimensional because of his use of clay, is not flat, but juts out from the wall surface, helping the viewers eye be guided through the forms and images even more.

I encourage you to look at more of his work: http://accessceramics.org/results/artist/146/

Jamie Bardsley




 Jamie Bardsley

I was drawn to these pieces by Bardsley because she uses simplified objects made out of porcelain to make larger installations. I am also using porcelain for my current project, and while it is giving me some grief trying to properly throw with it, I love the natural look of it when it's fired. I also really appreciate the consistency within her work - her repetitious use of very simplified objects.
I suggest looking at more of Jamie's work on either one of the following websites. She has many wonderful images of her work.
