CAROL GOUTHRO & PATTI WARASHINA
DUET
SEP 13 — OCT 23 -
Radius Clayworks is tremendously honored to present new works by two esteemed Seattle-based artists: Carol Gouthro & Patti Warashina. Gouthro's colorful and expressive biomorphic sculptures celebrate the potency of transformation—both in nature and in ceramics. Warashina's delightful, socially charged, always surprising figurative sculptures speak to the absurdity and foibles of human behavior. Together their work sings in tribute to art's power and poignancy.
WARNING: Adding an artwork to your shopping cart does not, sadly, reserve it. Another visitor may have the same item in their cart and “scoop” it from you if they input their credit card first. If you really love a piece, we suggest you hurry to the check out to avoid disappointment. You can continue shopping after that purchase.
These works will be available for pick up or shipping the week after October 23rd.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The human figure has absorbed and fascinated my visual curiosity for most of my 60-year career as an artist. This sustaining interest is probably because my own body is my most immediate resource in terms of its psychological and physical proximity. As I experience and observe people’s interactions and the interwoven aspects of everyday life, the human form provides a reference point to my own existence, a marker of personal time and the civilization in which I live, almost like a personal visual diary.
I often place the figures in voyeuristic situations tinged with irony and absurdity as I seek comic relief from society’s pressures and frustrations. It is my way of escaping the doubts and disharmony of human nature and its routines, and playing out imaginative scenarios to my liking, like a child playing with dolls. The political and societal problems that exist in the world today and throughout history also invoke visual images that inform my work. These figures have become the actors in my introspective narratives.
