Eva kwong ceramics artist biography wife

Her work-study job at the Nature Lab at RISD immersed her studies in the diversity and similarity of forms from nature. Her lifelong interest in the intersection of the art and science of the natural world provides the conceptual framework and visual vocabulary for her compelling, colorful organic forms in sculpture, installations and vessels.

Much of the inspiration for my work comes from my wonderment of the natural world within and around us. The references to natural forms began when I was a work-study student in the Nature Lab at the Rhode Island School of Design in the early 70s. That 20 hours a week gave me an immersion in the shapes, colors, patterns, structures and principles found in organic form and the human body.

This experience generated the visual vocabulary that informs all the work that I do. I like to make things.

It is my way of experiencing and understanding the world through my own filter. It is a gut-felt, intuitive impulse to puts things that I think about into concrete form. To me making anything in art is like dreaming. I know where I am starting from, but I do not know how it will unfold and where it will lead to.
