In Jill Solomon’s saggar fired forms one sees a history of her travels. Her strong yet tender figures and their serene presence are a tribute to the African women of her childhood. Her formal art training in England can be seen in the influence of Brancusi, Giacometti and Modigliani in her use of pure lines and strong geometry. Finally, from the rugged Nova Scotian coast, she has captured the shapes and surface of the sea-worn stones and rock formations.
