A life immersed in amateur astronomy, ceramics, education and storytelling is the art that D.E.Walters creates. She has been a potter for 44 years. In addition to creating pottery, she teaches ceramics in the studio in her own backyard. She also hosts art-cations” in her Gallery Suite where one can buy local art off the walls. Diane is dedicated to making the magic of art and creation accessible to everyone while telling a compelling story of how potters mirror both earthly and Cosmic evolution.
I believe that there is nothing more important than the communal act and art of eating. The social reciprocity of sharing a meal together dates back through the human story on a global scale.
Each vessel holds the capacity for nourishment held on many levels. The capacity of my dishes serve as a reminder to explore our human capacities for mind/ heart connections.
The meal as a social art, pairs the union of communal connection with creativity.
My product line, ‘Emergence’, is an effort to raise the way we think about the art behind the craft of making earth’s dishes. Born out of global isolation and social distancing, my choice of glaze showcases how ceramics capture light and warmth with an interplay of light and colour. The interior glaze is reminiscent of candlelight meant to symbolize the warmth and comfort of connection (to others, to ourselves, and to the Earth) while the white gloss exterior catches light of mind and life! The meeting point becomes a life-line of colour.
I asked myself “If out of light and warmth emerges a lifeline of colour what would happen if I let the colours roam freely over the vessels? Voila, my Epiphany Line!
A dance of the Emergence colours formally embedded in a line finds expression in a myriad of ways while the line has broken apart and dances in interconnected movement across my pots. One way or another, life is expressed through colour.
My work has always been an attempt to go to the source of things and the ground we stand on is the source of my art and inspiration. My new product line, ‘Emergence’, is an effort to raise the way we think about the art behind the craft of making earth’s dishes.
Born out of global isolation and social distancing, my choice of glaze showcases how ceramics capture light and warmth with an interplay of light and colour. The meeting point represents art as a life-line during challenging times.
