娜奧米·彼得森（Naomi Peterson）嬉戲的陶瓷“杯蛋糕”將糖果作為起點

磨砂的海綿和填充餡餅只是粘土中的Naomi Peterson手工藝品中的一些甜食。她嬉戲的“杯子蛋糕”將糖果作為起點，增加了層，讓人聯想到軟糖，冰淇淋勺，漿果和灑水。

Naomi Peterson crafts playful ceramic pieces that are inspired by confectionery. Her work is often functional, incorporating lids or handles to be used as vessels or coffee mugs. Many of her pieces feature bright colors and whimsical patterns, and she often adds elements of nature, such as flowers or leaves.

娜奧米·彼得森（Naomi Peterson）的戲劇性陶瓷作品，靈感來自糖果。她的作品通常是功能性的，並結合了用作容器或咖啡杯的蓋子或手柄。她的許多作品具有鮮豔的色彩和異想天開的圖案，她經常添加自然元素，例如花或葉子。

Peterson's process is intuitive, and she combines wheel-thrown techniques with hand-building methods like coils, slabs, and pinching. She begins by constructing a basic form, and then she adds or removes elements through darting—cutting wedge-shaped pieces from a cylinder of clay—and embellishing with sprig or press molds.

彼得森的過程是直觀的，她將輪轂技術的技術與手工建造方法結合在一起，例如線圈，板和捏合。她首先要構建基本形式，然後通過飛鏢添加或去除元素 - 從粘土的圓柱體上切開楔形的碎片，然後用小樹枝或壓榨模具裝飾。

Once the basic form is complete, she begins to add surface decoration. This can involve multiple applications and separate firings to achieve vibrant, layered effects. Her surfaces are often influenced by her previous experience painting with oils.

一旦基本形式完成，她就開始增加表面裝飾。這可能涉及多個應用程序和分開的射擊，以實現充滿活力的分層效果。她的表面通常受她以前用油畫繪畫的經驗影響。

For Peterson, her work is about more than just creating beautiful objects. She is also interested in exploring relationships and the way our actions and emotions entwine us with others and our communities. The spaces in between the dot patterns on her work are essential, she says, "not to keep each element distant but to connect them."

對於彼得森來說，她的工作不僅僅是創造美麗的物體。她還對探索人際關係以及我們的行動和情感與他人和我們的社區的方式感興趣。她說：“不是要使每個元素保持遠處，而是將它們連接起來。”

Although not physically connected, each of us is important as part of a whole.

儘管沒有身體上的聯繫，但我們每個人都很重要。
