EMINENT CALIFORNIA SCULPTOR STAN BITTERS FINDS A NEW AUDIENCE FOR HIS TIMELESS CERAMICS

摘要

Stan bitters is a 21st-century caveman. In a win-dowless steel building on an industrial strip of Fresno, California, the 76-year-old sculptor shapes earth, water, and fire into primal ceramic forms. It is a ritual based more on instinct than intellectual precept."It's not about thinking about the clay," he says. "It's really getting in there and manipulating it - mashing it and beating it - until it produces some feeling of wonderfulness, something earthy and textural." Bitters' art bears the mark of his own two hands, often quite literally.
