For Weir, making is how she thinks and expresses herself–how she communicates. Her hands and her mind work together: thinking in clay is a way of seeing, seeing in clay is a way of communicating. She works through ideas until the pieces sing, finding that perfect pitch between form and content, positive and negative space, gesture and meaning, surface and form.
