Years ago, Pamela Sunday walked into a just-for-fun ceramics class, and walked out with a whole new life's calling.

At the time Pamela was working as a fashion stylist and art director. She now spends her days in a Brooklyn studio crafting ceramic pieces inspired by science and nature.

Sprocket ... Cumuloid ... Atom ... Cellular bowl ... Blastoid ... these are the figments of an imagination come to life from blocks of clay, and studies of Ernst Haeckel* and Karl Blossfeldt.**

In Pamela's strangely powerful creations, one is reminded all at once of both the fragility and the dynamic nature of life itself. And her work speaks to us in a primordial language that resonates from a deep inner space. ::

Topsy Turvy says ...
• We think a Sprocket (or two) would look smashing on a tabletop, like an asteroid just crash landed.
• Outdoors, we'd place any of Pamela's works amidst beds of tall grasses.
• Check out the recent profile of Pamela on So Haute.
• Look closely and you'll spot a Cellular Sphere in Elle Decor, May 08 in the Greenwich Village studio of architect, David Mann.

*Ernst Haeckel was a scientist often referred to as the "Darwin of Germany." Also an accomplished artist, he idolized Goethe, who maintained that "art as well as science could unearth the underlying truths of nature".
**Karl Blossfeldt was a photographer, artist and teacher, who photographed nothing but plants his entire career, working with a camera he designed himself. His greatly magnified, close-up images pushed the bounds of photography, which had, until then, been considered simply a tool for the study of science.
