Seth says his definition of art contains three elements:
1. Art is made by a human being.
2. Art is created to have an impact, to change someone else.
3. Art is a gift. You can sell the souvenir, the canvas, the recording… but the idea itself is free, and the generosity is a critical part of making art.
By my definition, most art has nothing to do with oil paint or marble. Art is what we’re doing when we do our best work.
John’s talent runs deep. His floral vases are what he first became known for over 25 years ago. Then came his raku vases, boxes and candlesticks which also quickly became a favorite. But nothing has been more of a phenomenon than his ceramic rattles. They have been the best sellers at J. Davis Studio for over a dozen years.
We know there are many reasons people are so captivated by the palm size works of art. But it is our belief that the rattles create so many emotions and have withstood the test of time, because everyone at the studio is so very grateful for them. We all feel it is a true blessing to be responsible for the creation of something that impacts so many. And we never take that for granted.
They are our best work.
