"All of these pieces are part of an ongoing project called The World of the Watchers, which interweaves folklore and myth-building with ceramic sculpture and photography. The project began as a search for a greater sense of play and whimsy in a practice that felt over-thought and overly serious. It has quickly taken on a life of its own, with the characters and stories building upon themselves in unforeseen ways. It is both a response to the ever growing threats of climate change, as well as a call to take seriously the art of play and wonder." - Stefanie Smith, artist
