SALLY SQUIRE
Sally Squire renders her fine, fragile sculptural works with an effusive respect for delicacy and grace. Commanding in their intricacy and beguiling in their arrangement, her crisp compositions favor high textural surfaces and a sharp control of geometric form. Her wall sculptures and free-standing vessels demonstrate her technical artistry in rendering clay at its most supple essence.
Done almost exclusively in porcelain, with the inclusion of external materials and inks in specific projects, that lend dimension, Squire achieves an impressive dexterity in alluding to fluidity and softness.
Facing the rigidity of her medium, Squire extends beyond those limitations to make venerable works that employ structure and linear movement to create gentle, vulnerable scapes.
BIOGRAPHY
Boasting an impressive oeuvre, Sally Squire has been working in three-dimensional forms since 1998, with a focused intensity in porcelain as of the last decade. Squire graduated from the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture; the most critical component to her current practice is a penchant to pull from nature as inspiration pushing her towards non-traditional craft techniques. Her art has recently been featured in several Pacific Northwest galleries and retail destinations, and has been featured in LUXE Interiors + Design magazine and Oregon Home.
