Lindsay creates functional pottery with a strong emphasis on pattern and surface design. Each piece is unique with its own pattern combination.
“My work is a collaboration of printmaking and ceramics. I am very interested in the idea of multiples, layering, pattern and process. I like using the surface of the functional ceramic forms like a canvas, not just its utilitarian purpose. Combining the handcrafted vessel created from a natural material with the mechanized decal speaks to the history of the artistic process. I tend to the ceramic surface by carving the clay, embossing and stamping, using stencils and silk-screening under glazes, using lithographic photo transfers, and finishing with decals. This process builds up a rich layering of images, often making a complex and ornate surface.”
