Stiles in Clay
Chris Stiles has always been drawn to
working with his hands and has described his relationship with
materials as a conversation. There is as much give as take between
these two independent forces and the relationship is truly a
friendship. The challenge of this friendship is to create a balance
between the materials’ needs and one’s own thoughts.
A common
thread running through Chris’s work is the ability to be: inventive,
inviting, playful, tactile and most importantly expressive of the human
spirit. These elements are why people find his work so endearing. When
talking about art and design, Chris is often quoted as saying, “It’s
just material until someone sculpts their thoughts into it.”
