Marc Digeros

''I am challenged by the marriage of form and surface in my artwork and I enjoy blurring the line between functional and purely decorative objects. I am influenced greatly by architecture in my daily life. Much like architecture, my work examines the elements of interior and exterior, function, surface design and adornment, and it is designed with a consideration of the relationship to its surroundings.''

''My pieces are hand-built using thin slabs to construct walls that wrap around slump-molded bases. As I build, I try to leave clues as to how my pieces have been constructed, such as seams and other marks that result from my hands and tools touching the clay. Similarly, I design and glaze my pieces with the understanding that the kiln will often transform my perfecting tendencies into happy accidents that can’t always be reproduced. Many times it is this unforeseeable outcome that fuels my desire to create.''
