In her personal quest to connect with her Chinese heritage, Karen Ford has always been drawn to historical Asian ceramics – porcelain in particular. These works of art are strikingly beautiful, yet their function plays a strong role in culture, community and ritual. When she creates a piece, she honors this tradition.
Karen strives to harmonize the relationship between form, function and nature. Each piece is aesthetically pleasing as well as completely functional. Her current work is a fusion of clay, fire and glass and various natural objects that are pressed into the porcelain to form abstract textures. She applies small shards of glass during the second firing. The glass melts, leaving a “pool” of translucent color that fuses with the glaze and creates a smooth surface. The results can be gem-like; reminiscent of semi-precious stones or ice formations. Her work is constantly evolving, and since each firing yields different results, each piece is unique.
