Abstract

This thesis is a result of the creation of sculptures combining the media of clay and polyester resin. The malleable and earthly qualities of clay, juxtaposed with the controlled and polished forms of the cast plastic was my major interest. Light reflecting and refracting through the plastic is complemented by the light-absorbing qualities of fired, unglazed clay.
