Terra cotta clay

Sang Parkinson Roberson
Ormond Beach, Fla.

Sang Parkinson Roberson’s sculptural clay forms are exhibited in galleries around the world and in juried exhibitions including the Smithsonian and Philadelphia craft shows. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Fellowship and a Visual Arts Grant from the Florida Department of State. Her artwork is in many public and private collections.

"Growing up on a lake in the Mississippi delta, I spent a lot of time alone, surrounded by natural beauty. My pots are simply reflections of my love of nature in its purity of form and surface. Technically, my work is hand-constructed or cast and altered of terra cotta, then burnished with terra sigillata, a fine clay slip. The work then is usually pit-fired outside in hay, sawdust, bamboo and other plants. Hopefully, the pieces I made for the Ocean Center reflect my love for the natural beauty of Volusia County. I am so delighted and honored to have my work chosen for this magnificent new building.” – Sang Parkinson Roberson
