Her work has been published in Ceramics Monthly, Clay Times, 500 Pitchers, 500 Platters and Chargers, and 500 Vases. It was the cover feature of Ceramic Monthly's May 2010 issue. Archie Bray gallery writes: Martha Grover['s] thrown and altered porcelain forms emulate orchids, flowing dresses and the body, the work has a sense of both familiarity and preciousness. In our lives, we often move past the objects surrounding us at a very quick pace. My work generates a moment to pause.
My goal is create an undeniable presence, one that acts as an invitation to explore the work thoroughly, taking time to know all of its many facets. Only through sustained interaction we can truly know and appreciate someone or something. In excellent condition - I find no issues. Please review photos carefully, and message with questions.
