Henry Moore\u2019s wonderful sculptures are on display in the Botanic Gardens <\/a>until January 31, 2010.<\/p>\n

Henry Moore\u2019s use of organic forms in his Reclining Figures<\/em> influenced my creation of Reclining Mother<\/em> while doing ceramics in college. I was attracted to the primitive and archaic attributes in his forms and surface. Although my sculpture is ceramic, my earthy and reticulating glazes were influenced by Moore\u2019s use of surface on wood and rock.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The \u2018hollow\u2019 or negative spaces in Henry Moore\u2019s figures were significant in my own sculpture as well. These enclosures lead the eye back into the embryonic figure. Although reclining,\u00a0my ceramic\u00a0figure has movement. My sculpture is small in comparison to Moore\u2019s monumental figures, but it still is a\u00a0non-representational \u2018mother earth\u2019. Moore\u2019s sculptures were tied to the earth as well.<\/p>\n
