 Artist Statement Isolated from the small rural town of Middlebury as an adolescent, my playtime and leisure activities involved exploring the surrounding woods, lakes, and gravel pits. It is from these childhood experiences that many of the patterns originate which are found in the images that decorate my pottery. I use leaves, shells, and textures found in nature and sometimes found locked timelessly in many of the rocks I would collect from the gravel pits near our home. We use actual leaves and branches from the trees and other foliage near our home here in Florida as patterns, stencils, or press molds - forever locking their beauty in the clay. A fossil that takes moments to create rather than centuries.Artist Biography Artist, Glenn Woods, grew up in Middlebury, Indianan, a small rural town surrounded by farmland.
