Kay Lynne Sattler • Village Galleries Maui
Kay Lynne Sattler has engaged in an exploration of materials which brings ageless elements together to form unsurpassed sculptural forms. Her techniques are a sophisticated balance of hand constructed clay, juxtaposed with the controlled use of precious metals. The dense rich clay forms are but a canvas upon which she applies the ethereal shimmer of her chosen metals.
Through meticulous gilding techniques, she coaxes light to live in a serene sanctuary within the body of the clay. The collaboration is highly contemporary, yet primitive; exuding a sensuous and subtle elegance. To the surprise of the viewer, each piece glows from within in the faintest of light, and recasts the role of sculptural clay in today’s art collections.
Drawing inspiration from the enduring and ephemeral forms of nature, one is drawn into the primal, pure and precise way in which Kay Lynne Sattler’s artistry evokes the elemental essence of creation.
Recent honors include:The prestigious 25th Gold Coast International juried ceramic exhibition in Australia.
