Jodi Peterson's work explores the dichotomy between chaos and calm. Her work invites us to consider how we might escape the frantic entanglement of city life and align ourselves with nature. How can we balance our city selves with the part of us that longs to be deep in a forest? Can we “adopt the pace of nature” as Ralph Waldo Emerson encouraged us to do, when we are confined by concrete and hard edges? Seeking stillness and tranquil awareness is deep within our nature. Jodi’s ceramic work embodies this search for solace and serenity within our urban lives.
