Human life unfolds into the fabric of time and
history. Kimberly's sculptures and functional ware are based on issues that
surround the mysteries of existence and human origin. In her work she addresses
ideas that evoke a sense of memory and human relations to and about the land.
The work considers both personal and historical relationships to the
environment. Her sculptures and figurative vessels reference archeological
excavations, feminine roles, cycles of renewal and decay, evolution vs. mythic
beliefs, and relate to events in her personal history. She is exploring views
and ideas that revel in life’s mysteries and stir thoughts of becoming and
being. She is influenced by two spheres of thought: the physical sciences and
the human psyche. Science provides the facts and the psyche reveals mystery.
In her recent sculptural work Kimberly has been using four elements:
- The female figure
- A representation of her childhood house
- Organic pod forms
- Mounds of earth
These elements are placed together and repeated in an installation setting to act as metaphors about origin. She is creating a space in which the viewer can interact with and contemplate fundamental human relationships.
Kimberly's thrown and altered pottery is an ongoing investigation about woman as vessel. The fertility vessels quote Neolithic sources. She uses a variety of firings to enhance interpretation. The ideas she is exploring in sculpture and functional ware are open-ended. She is not searching for truth or exposure, but for a secret.
