Working with clay is a relational experience that is extremely important to what I do &amp; how I create. I stand as creature with creature in this making process in a very collaborative and femi-nine approach. My imagery, even if sometimes rather abstract, most often references nature, and I fnd it important to approach my work in the studio in a playful way, inviting the material to move in ways that perhaps I hadn\u2019t allowed it before and splashing glazes freely. Over the past ten years or so, I have begun to experiment by incorporating found objects and fused glass with the ceramic components. The image of the tree has been a recurring one in my work from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5195\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5196\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life3.jpg 480w, https:\/\/archive.hamiltonstreetgallery.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Linda_Vonderschmidt_LaStella-_Tree_of_Life3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>sculpture clay and fused glass, 12\u201d x 10\u201d x 22\u201d, $1,000.00 As one who has spent 40+ years as a ceramist, I discovered early on that clay is never merely \u201c the material that I use\u201d, but a genuine co-creator of the objects.
