     Resembling many different forms found in nature, Brook Hine’s installations and sculptures are inspired by found objects in a state of decay. Delving into an imagined history, Hine finds the tactile nature of clay to be ideal for her subject matter and the spontaneous working method, allowing the material to guide the organic nature of each form. For Hine’s installations, such as her ongoing Growth/Deterioration series, fossil like forms are composed in a way that responds to the architecture of the space. The point of departure for her other object-based work stems from the biomorphic qualities of aquatic life, often including an intricate use of stains and glazes to elaborate and draw out subtle details of the form. Ultimately, as Hine states, the objective of her work is to “discover an innate spirituality that addresses the cycle of life and death.” Curated by Melissa Caldwell. This show is one of over 90 exhibitions that are part of INDEPENDENCE: The 44th Annual NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference taking place in Philadelphia from March 31 – April 3, 2010 hosted by The Clay Studio.
