Studio Description: Anita Feng specializes in raku Buddha statues. Merging over 30 years each of ceramic art and Zen training, Anita Feng’s raku sculptures embody the immediacy and vitality of in-the-moment meditation. Each sculpture is formed out of a unique partnership between clay, fire and artist. The clay is sometimes thrown initially and then altered. Or…it is literally thrown across the studio floor to create a visible flow in the clay. Whatever the process, Anita likes to balance parts of a sculpture that are made and finished in a minute, with other parts (particularly faces) that take careful, meticulous days-long work.
