Lumen, 2005. Ceramic and mixed media. 18" x 9.5" x 5"

Josephine Burr is a sculptor and ceramic designer with 18 years' experience working in clay. She received her MFA in
Artisanry/Ceramics from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and until recently was Manager of Education and Studio Operations at Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. Her work incorporates minimalist forms with richly layered surfaces, using traditional ceramic processes as well as nontraditional and non-fired media such as wax encaustic, graphite, and print transfers. Ms. Burr focuses on layering imagery and texture to create a dimensional sense of memory and time in her pieces.
