Planting a garden

processing the yield, and cooking is a joy

Eating with friends over good conversations. 

All of these experiences are enhanced

- Ahren Ahrenholz 

Ahrenholz explores form, texture, and perception through clay. His ceramic works are quiet investigations into the relationships between material, light, and meaning—each piece serving as an artifact of her ongoing inquiry into how we see and feel objects beyond their literal form.

OBJECTS

Ahrenholz seeks silence. Clear focused mental energy is his currency through constructing objects.

It is a process of arranging materials. An inquiry into the elements of the visual and tactile vocabulary. He questions the properties of line, mass, density, texture, color,the way light is reflected and absorbed.

What are the visual, tactile elements involved?

What exists in perception beyond literal meaning?

What is the essence of iconic vs. symbolic form?

These questions bring comfort. The objects presented are artifacts of the inquiry.
