Studio Visit with Cathy Broski

Ceramic artist Cathy Broski's work is steeped in archetypal and personal symbolism. Figures, houses, boats, and pottery are all vessels to contain things we hold dear, and sometimes those things we would cast off. Cathy chose these forms to work with because they have several levels of meaning she finds intriguing to explore. She loves found objects, because of their wear and marks of their journeys
