About Alexis P. Higginbotham:
I work in clay because it’s a natural extension of my passion for gardening, where I create, cultivate, and makes things grow. I like squishing my hands in clay and I have been doing so since the mid 1980s. I love creating garden art to enjoy outdoors, but all of my work goes equally well inside.
I am engaged by the human form, not so much by its shape or dimension, but how it can reflect an inner spirit or essence in a very simple way. The real and imaginary beings in my Global Village are examples of that.
I am also inspired by the concept of totem poles and their representation of legends, clan lineages, notable events, and cultural beliefs. See some of my kundalini chakra totems at http://www.alexishigginbotham.com/ceramic_totem_poles.html
I live in the Cerrillos Hills outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico with my husband, 3 horses, 3 dogs, 1 surly cat, 2 bee hives, and a 100-lb. African sulcata tortoise named Frankie.

about my art:
All my large-scale work is done in Cone 6 stoneware clay with paper fiber added for strength and resilience to the extremes of New Mexico weather. I don’t create maquettes or plan my work in advance. I value the freedom of changing my mind, changing a detail, or even a changing a whole concept in midstream, and the flexibility of paper clay helps me retain that free-flowing quality. Each and every piece is lovingly hand built and unique.
