Abstract ceramic sculptures of northwest by artisan
Jacquline Hurlbert.
Jacquline Hurlbert, who moved to Oregon from California in 1991,
was originally from Nebraska. She attended the University of
Nebraska where she first discovered ceramics.
Her clay sculptures take many forms creating a different series
of works to express each group of emotions that she experiences.
Some find her work shocking or disturbing, while she sees it
as a sign of hope.
"It's crazy out there, says Jacquline, so I retreat to my inside
world, the one where I can breathe and calm myself. Clay serves
as the vehicles for my meditation; it speaks without words.
Everything that I feel is automatically transferred to the clay
through my hands. This is my voice, not heard, but seen. I invite
you to communicate with me through visual imagery, creating
a dialogue between yourself and the work.
The clay speaks and I listen, this body of work is the result
of that silent conversation". All of Jacquline's ceramic works
of art are strong, intriguing, well executed and become even
more precious when her spiritual message that accompanies each
piece is discovered.
