Autumn Higgins Art

I create wheel thrown and hand built porcelain for functional and decorative use in the home. Each piece is carefully formed before being decorated with inlaid fine black lines, painted with a light watercolor-like style, then glazed and fired to create a dense translucent porcelain. My work is illustrated with lively imagery of plants, animals, and the local landscape. The function of my work brings the viewer in contact with the illustrations, and gives them a chance to investigate the form, surface, and drawings to form narratives relating to their own experience and relationships with the imagery. While still having a use, my work steers away from strict function and serves as decorative art as well.
