StoryStarters Art – Six

Gretel Boose is a ceramic sculptor. Her work addresses the universal search for meaning, fulfillment, and acceptance in a time that offers less and less opportunities for involvement and physical engagement other than a click of a button on a keyboard. This life style can easily become a way of separating ourselves from our natural wisdom by encouraging us to look everywhere but inside ourselves to find fulfillment.

Working with mud for her is like returning to the original creativity that is inherent in each one of us in different ways. A new sculpture is a gift coming from the unknown. In the silence of her studio, her work evolves spontaneously. Life ceases to be a task, and becomes natural and simple. With a sense of wonder, she greets a new being, coming to life between her hands.

Her ceramic and mixed media sculptural work is an attempt to communicate my fascination with human expressions, and the secrets behind the mind and spirit. The stories told by the Spiritual Beings often bring to light the question: Who are you? And through you, who am I?
