INSPIRATION FROM PATZ FOWLE



Photo Essay by Dawn Hunter, 9-7-2022



During our most recent Lake City excursion, Darcy and I went to the Onward and Upward exhibition at the Jones-Carter Gallery. The show featured artwork by Patz Fowle (1954-2021) and Mike Fowle. We were taken and awe-struck by the artwork, which led to an impulse buy of Patz Fowle's whimsical and exquisite clay work Every Artist...Has a Story. The piece is comprised of hand sculpted stoneware, porcelain, oxides, underglaze, stains, and luster. The ceramic work contains references to famous works of art by artists like Dali, Picasso, and Munch, and seminal readings of Art History. The tactile surfaces rival the painted surface qualities of The Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald (1512–1516.)

Patz Fowle's work inspires a cookie bake-off.



The best location for this artwork in our house? The kitchen table, of course. Our meal times are now rich with discussions about art, history, and Patz's work. There are so many layers of references in the artwork. What a wonderful gift for our home! The work inspired Darcy's and Eva's sleepover cookie bake-off this past weekend. The greatest challenge? The icing and cookie cutters could not translate the fine detail of the elephant.
