2.15.13 Artist of the Week: Tricia Powles Tricia Powles
I love sculpture, primarily sculpture done in clay. There is something about the relationship with the material, the hands-on-ness of it, that other media lack for me. I am inspired by trees, Surrealist landscapes, organic form and line, the way that muscles bunch up and skin stretches across bone. I love creating something precious and releasing it to the fire, to thrive or fail.

“The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.” –Henry Moore
