"The feel of clay, with all its infinite degrees of plasticity and then gradual hardness, is an amazing source of inspiration to me. I believe art is a process, not a product. Processing life is what I do when I am making art, whether I am working in my chosen professional material which is usually ceramics, or puttering in my garden, creating a meal in the kitchen, enjoying a walk in the woods, sitting on my deck in the summer evenings watching changes in the sky, or feeling and seeing the wind move through meadow grasses. I am constantly processing light and shadow, color and form, the spatial relationships between forms, and the emotional resonance between different proportions of negative (or empty) and positive (or occupied) space." -Ann Mallory
