Elizabeth Fritzsche

Being with my work is important to understanding it. I work with an intuitive mind from a deep human response. Before I work in my studio I clear my space and my mind of any negative energy. My textual marks on the vessels are my language of good intentions. The language comes from an awareness of the energy in all things and its ability to affect our spaces. In the molten process of firing porcelain my marks of positive intentions are infused into the work and become part of the resonance of the vessel. The resonance continually fills the space with a positive energy exposing the viewer to the essence of the vessel.
True porcelain is highly translucent, white, and resonant. I always consider some measure of these qualities in my finished vessels.

Elizabeth Fritzsche has worked in porcelain for 28 years. She has lived and worked in Japan and most recently in China in international artist residencies. She resides in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque.
