| Description: | Excerpt from Safeco object label: "Ford is a ceramic sculptor whose exquisitely detailed kimonos have a lyrical rhythm which makes them seem to dance. Although she says, 'Clay is a sometime thing - to be overconfident is to court disaster,' she has little need for concern. Her skill with thin sheets of earthenware allows her imagination to flow without restraint." |
