Halldor Hjalmarson
Sunday, September 22, noon
Location: 45 West Lynwood Street. Phoenix, AZ, 85003
Halldor creates ‘micro landscapes’ using sculpted, press/ sprig molds and thrown pieces. Imagery, composition, texture and pattern all come together to create beautiful works of art.
As a native of our Sonoran Desert, Halldor has been drawn to depicting the imagery, action and feeling of his familiar surroundings. In his micro landscapes he shows the relationships and anticipated actions between the sculpted and “sprigged” plants and animals. The artist is an experienced potter, and often utilizes his “throwing” skills in creating vessels to display and augment his visions. He employees elements of imagery, composition, texture and pattern as tools to gain movement and feeling. Halldor has discussed his work and demonstrated his unique techniques to other clay artists at national and local conferences as well as being featured in numerous publications.
