Raging Clay\ Rhonda A. Davis: Ceramic Artist.
Pottery, Thrown forms, Masks, Crystal glazes, and Raku fired.
We are driven as Artists to do things sometimes that are not understood. Motivations that call us to places so we can fulfill a truth. Call it the " Inner Truth Magnet". I came to Northern Arizona University as a student in 1974. I loved the San Francisco Peaks, so I stayed , raised a family, and I taught High School for 25 years! Now I work full time as an Artist.. I create thrown pottery shapes, that are usually altered. I love to use semi precious stones on my Crystalline glazed vases, and I like to create texture on my masks by using leather and lace .

Rhonda A. Davis, a Ceramic Artist, born in 1955, is a native of Arizona. Works with porcelain, a high fired clay." I create curvilinear vessels, and masks. My glazes are crystalline. Occasionally I work with Raku firing.The subtle colors are used to enhance the forms. The masks are a transformation of human emotions. They go from Rage to Peaceful Meditation. Hence the name Raging Clay.

Self portrait 1992.
The concept of the raging mask came to me following a traumatic life experience, people did relate to them and they sold out of galleries quickly.
The masks I made in the 90's are completely different emotionally and spiritually than what they look like now in 2015. Today they are singing, and peaceful like Shamans.

I began making the style of masks I handbuild today in 1990. They have trasformed from Raging faces to Peaceful Shamans.
