Randy Bill
I work with both sculpture and pottery. Both are about form, surface, and color, but pottery is governed by function and its limitations, sculpture is not. Alternating between pottery and sculpture has the effect of cleansing the creative palate and allowing for new influences and inspirations, sometimes providing an exciting intersection between the two.
I’m not a production potter. I create one of a kind, some limited additions, and collections of related forms. My process is based in chance and creative play. During a make, while carving solid blocks of clay, wheel-throwing, or hand-building, I keep an eye out for accidents, and the unexpected because they often lead me in interesting directions. Each piece represents an exploratory process and the intersection of creativity, and physical reality, my lifelong joy.
