Barbara Sorenson
Muse I
Made in clay and bronze, her sculptures are about the figure, the landscape and how these relate to each other in the environment. Her work ranges from geologic scale totems to small decorative ceramic chests. She builds in layers, stacking and joining the clay as she moves upward to create layers of antiquity, layers of time, and layers of herself. Barbara Sorensen is a ceramic sculptor and printmaker whose interest in geological formations is reflected in her works. With this same theme she is now creating environmental installations with pieces varying in scale from intimate forms to larger than life size goddesses. She is a nationally recognized artist and has studied art around the world. (Installed in 2008)
