About Marcie Jan Bronstein
"These works, part of a new series of vessels, "Family Jewels," are wheel thrown and hand built improvisations, pushing up against the border between functional and sculptural. Each piece, with a name evoking personality and culture, is like a collage, with bits of shiny and gilded porcelain. With a lifelong love for travel, by land and sea, my clay work reflects a fascination with visible layers of history, and a mash up of aesthetic influences."
 
"A graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology and Hampshire College, I am a ceramic artist with a background in painting and photography and a dedicated practice for more than thirty years. I bring to my work a photographer’s eye, a painter’s touch, and a love for building work layer by layer."
 
"Turning my vessels in my hands and on a banding wheel, I create sculptural paintings, developed in the moment, one mark informing the next. I'm looking for compositions with movement and balance, whimsy and elegance. I am especially taken with juxtapositions, finding beauty in the coexistence of something raw with something delicate and refined. My work has always been process-driven, and at the heart of the process, no matter the medium, is the spirit of play and discovery. I make art to slow down and take a deep breath, to try to see the world more clearly and to find what's visually compelling. The act of creating objects centers me and the resulting work is a diary and an offering."
