Ceramics Design

I am interested in Chris Keenan as an artist because I have a respect for his approach to the process of making art. I can relate to the satisfaction he gets from seeing improvement in his own work. The multiples he creates eventually become one, completed work of art as they demonstrate achievement of his intended outcome. Keenan uses his sense of touch and intuition to create his artwork. His focus on the feel of the material during the process of creation is similar to Julian Stair’s consideration of sensory engagement. Stair’s work interests me because of the sheer size in which he works. I am intrigued by the challenge of making a vessel the size of a human.
