Gary Quirk creates images in slabs of clay as a way of remembering and celebrating the world around him. According to Quirk, the images emerge from chance sightings or from dreams of sightings yet hoped for. They are derived from encounters with the outdoors that range from grand vistas to familiar urban settings, some from his own neighborhood. It is his wish that his tiles will serve as a focal point for other people to observe the beauty we find in our world.
