About
Donna Forst's sculptures explore geological time and memory. Inspired by twenty years of rock climbing throughout the desert southwest, Forst creates abstract visual accounts of her experiences. Forst utilizes a variety of recycled clay bodies, manipulated by the variables of time, water, and temperature, giving voice to the history of the material, to the earth itself, and to her own experiences. Forst's sculptures capture the aura of the desert landscape, invoking her memories and activating her creative endeavors
