Be sure to visit my website at rebeccalowery.com for more of my work. Rebecca Lowery was born and raised in rural Georgia, USA. She began her love of clay in college where she was an apprentice in the Berea College pottery for four years and received her BA in studio art with an emphasis in sculpture. After graduation, she taught, developed and created ceramics in Kentucky, Maryland and Indiana. In her current studio in Bloomington, Indiana, she creates whimsical handmade pottery and sculpture displayed at art exhibitions, galleries and festivals throughout the year. Artist Statement: Coiled, slab and thrown ceramic sculptures with underglaze and custom glazes fired to cone 6. I love “unlocking” our set perceptions and rebuild the world in my own images. Humans are bizarre creatures. We construe our world with our minds and lock those perceptions firmly in place to “make sense” of our world. What happens when we release the locks? Our minds can perceive far more than just what is in front of us, if we allow our minds to wander.
