Kimber’s Collection

Kimber

Kimber’s fascination with textures and layers has greatly inspired her latest body of work. For years she was stuck with this idea that she had to achieve perfection and realism in her art. This left her feeling frustrated and constrained. Just the idea of perfection often created unachievable standards set for herself, as well as misguided ideals of what good art was. Her practice recently has been learning to embrace imperfection, and find the beauty in it.

Kimber says she has given herself permission to play with the clay, pushing boundaries and exploring. Breaking rules all the while, allowing each piece to have its own character, its own story. The raw unrefined look and feel of the uneven free form edges and the layers of texture and wear and tear on the surface gives each piece a weathered, aged imperfect look and feel. There is beauty in that!

Kimber’s most recent expression comes through in creating ‘mezza’ platters, which are big plates that culturally represent coming together and sharing.

Create your own customized mezza platter, simply tell Kimber a story about a person, place, or event and let her create a beautiful heirloom piece for your home or office. They also make lovely gifts.
