About 

In her ceramic paintings Sweitzer explores how changing light interacts with color as it falls across a hand-built surface. She pieces clay together, clump by clump, in a process of repetitive mark-making. As the clay dries, edges warp, forming irregular boundaries. She then applies oil paint to the ceramic surfaces, setting the forms aglow in undulating fields of matte pigment. Painted in daylight hours in layered compressions of time, each structure becomes a distillation of landscapes, evoking memories of color and qualities of light.
