About Us
Maggie Murdoch
Maggie's
fanciful botanical work in inspired by the natural
world of growth and change. This work invokes
your imagination and conjures up the floor of
forests and oceans and even deserts. They are
fanciful, not meant to represent any particular
flora or fauna or for any particular use, but for imagination's
sake. The pieces are made in a combination of
methods, wheel thrown, slab, coil and carving.
There are many glazes used in combination and
several methods of application; dipping, pouring,
spraying, brush and syringe.
"My 35 years experience has brought me to this body of work that feels like it is just flowing"
David Drown
The
extruded pieces are clean and simple in design
and each is altered as it emerges from the die
to attain a asymmetery. The Eastern Series is
inspired by Chinese and Japanese influences. Hand-made
and designed as a stand- alone or add on set,
it's simple lines are pleasing to the eye and
a pleasure to use.
''Of all my many designs my Leaf Press dishes are still one of my favorites to make, using nature to help me create a piece is a pure joy. I think of them as man-made fossiles."
