The clay used in this collection naturally fires to a warm, yellow-orange color, without the addition of stain or pigment. Using clay with such inherently beautiful properties gives the artist a responsibility to uphold its native characteristics. Powell’s works are dedicated to the research and use of the state’s diverse clay and mineral resources. All sculptures from the Silk series are made using hand-processed Minnesota brick clay, kaolin, and taconite sand.
