Darren Emenau was raised in New Brunswick and has been creating ceramic work since he graduated from the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design in Fredericton in 1997. He is the recipient of several awards including a New Brunswick Arts Board Creation Grant in 2004 and 2000. His work has been shown across North America and is included in several private collections throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. Emenau is currently based on the Lower St John River in his native New Brunswic . ARTIST STATEMENT During the past six years my work has been focused on developing a balance between the natural tendency of clay while maintaining a conscious control over its form and function. I use a variety of techniques including extrusion and hand-building. Occasionally I combine these (the latter) with shapes that I have turned on the potter's wheel. The wide range of depth and texture in my glazes reflect the organic appearance of my forms. It is my intention to sustain the essence of the pre-fired fluid quality of the clay while capturing the personality and simplicity of each piece I create.
