Ceramic Pocketbook Sculpture Created by Gail Markiewicz Signed and dated 2006 Hand built of textured and carved clay in retail a patchworkmotif. Airbrushed and hand painted with glazes. Eachpiece is unique. Exact patterning and coloration will vary. Dimensions: 8”x6”x2” Markiewicz discovered clay about 30 years ago. From that moment on, she fell in love with the medium. She has often said that her biggest love was the way she could manipulate the clay with textures and carvings. She combines textures and carvings into a patchwork clay quilt and makes it into a sculptural form—an invitation to caress. Each piece takes several weeks to make due to the artist's multi-step process. First, Markiewicz must roll out pieces of clay and imprint textures into each individual piece. These are then “stitched” together with clay slip so that they begin to form a “quilt.” Finally, she shapes the parts into a sculptura.
