"I enjoy the story and form that grow together as each piece evolves. Creating a connection to my work for the viewer is important to me."

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. This is the feel Cathy tries to achieve on her surfaces by using a layering technique.

Cathy begins each piece on the potters wheel or with slabs. The pieces grow with the application of coils or additional slabs. When each piece is completed, she carves or textures the surface. The base colors of terra sigilattas and slips are applied and fired. Once the first firing is complete, Cathy applies and wipes off a combination of stains and glazes, then fires again to cone 6. This process is repeated until the desired effect is achieved.

Since receiving her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1990, Cathy has worked in the ceramics field in many capacities. Presently she is represented by numerous galleries, teaches several pottery classes, instructs workshops, sells work at art fairs, and has been published in several ceramic periodicals. In 2000, she and her husband built a studio right outside their backdoor. And in 2007 they completed a 40 cu ft gas car kiln.

Beautiful Sculptural Representation of our Love!

What I love about this small yet dramatic piece is that the artist, Cathy Browski allows each one to be customized for specific genders (diversity and inclusiveness in the collections is one of the reasons I continue to purchase artwork from artful home). The sculpture's vibrant and exciting colors work really well with the varied textures. An interesting note is I thought the figures were standing on a block of wood but in fact the piece is entirely ceramic. My husband and I have "One Love" displayed with other artwork that reminds us of how special our relationship is.

Beautifully graceful sculpture

I purchased this art piece in celebration of my 32nd Anniversary. It is such a lovely sculpture that each time I walk by it, I smile.The cool aqua color and the gold decoration goes beautifully with various styles of decor; however, I purchased it because it symbolizes the love in my life.
