This hand-built clay sculpture, Whispers of the Abyss, reflects my deep fascination with the mystery and depth of the ocean. Throughout my travels, I’ve been drawn to the enticing blues of the sea, captivated by its tranquil beauty and the enigmatic unknown that lies beneath. Inspired by this duality, the piece explores the interplay between serenity and mystery, evoking the ocean’s timeless allure.
The rich blue hues honor the theme of the Peggy Staber show, symbolizing the boundless expanse of water and its power to inspire wonder and reflection. Through its flowing, textured forms, this sculpture encourages viewers to contemplate the physical and metaphorical depths of water—its ability to sustain, conceal, and challenge our understanding of the natural world.
Whispers of the Abyss is an invitation to embrace the hidden mysteries of the ocean and, in turn, the unexplored depths within ourselves.
