David Bryce

David Bryce draws with clay. In his figurative sculpture and in his incised panels, he molds and marks the clay, creating sometimes serene, sometimes playful figures, suspended in an eternal moment of joy or contemplation. The pieces express a simple and familiar action- stirring a pot, offering a bowl, striking a note- but Bryce always imbues the movement with a feeling of stillness. With a calligraphic stroke, or the folds of ribbons of clay, he captures his robed figures at their daily tasks, and captures our hearts as well. His work makes us smile.
