FABLE VESSEL “THEY WERE PROBABLY SOUR ANYWAY”

6”h x 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

For the MIPCES catalog, Margaret Maggio wrote:

“In the fable series I’m having fun playing opposing elements against each other- the grid and the curve, the rough and the smooth, the narrative and the abstract. It is very satisfying to sit at my table and create from scratch all of the colors, shapes, and textures that I need to build an idea entirely of polymer clay.”

About

I cannot remember a time in my life that I wasn't interested in looking at art, talking about art and the making of art. In 1990 I earned a Phd in art history at the University of Maryland. My first experiences with polymer clay were in 1992, but I consider my real work with the medium to date from 1999.
