Nancy Hayes' ceramic forms bring to my mind some of the fantastic twisting vines, flowers and fruit of the fauna we are able to grow in zone 10b. The colors are vivid and often she will create a surface that appears to be an intricate inlay of textured leopard spots or armadillo scales impossibly fit together on the endless Escher-like twists and turns.
For this rather odd yet imaginative mind (yours truly), they would make a perfect companion for the garden.
Speaking of life forms, I have begun to see lizards, mature and recently hatched scooting around. A tiny frog hopped out from under a pot when I moved it. Snails, those $%#@!! things are here too. It is heartening that my terrace garden is to their liking. Being on the fourth floor one can feel isolated from Terra Firma and its bugs, worms, snails, frogs and the like. They will be here long after we're gone hopefully.
