POLYPS: The primary focus of my work has been an investigation of form in the Natural World. My intensive explorations with porcelain clay have aspired to lend a clarity and beauty to the subtle complexities found in the process of life forms, with relationship to the cycles of existence. My continued interest in ecology and biological form has lent me to an investigation of Coral Reefs and the millions of tiny colonies of Polyps that make up these vast underwater landscapes. Coral Reefs are one of the wonders of the natural world. Protecting thousands of miles of shoreline from erosion, these intricate structures support biodiversity essential to the balance of the worlds ecosystems. They are one of Nature’s most significant and ancient infrastructures. Global warming and our overuse of the reefs is causing untold damage to these beautiful yet fragile formations. Through the use of Porcelain clay, and the inspiration of the tiny Polyps that slowly grow and lay down the supporting skeleton of the Coral Reefs, I have created a series of sculptural forms. These have developed and evolved in relation to one another, and portray both subtle and extreme changes in form and structure. Each of the sculptures tiny vessel forms are open as well as connected to one another to signify the hope and possibility of the process of rebuilding and growth. – Bambi Waterman

ARTIST STATEMENT: My explorations aspire to lend a clarity and beauty to the subtle complexities found in the process of life forms. My work reflects my search to find something simple and beautiful and pure out of all this confusion / difficulty of life experience. – Bambi Waterman
