Ms. Webster sculpts living things that come from the sea to make strong statements about nature and the environment. By casting real objects in porcelain and assembling them in twisted, distorted, and exaggerated forms, she suggests the environmental damage and chemical pollution she feels is "irrevocably altering nature." Webster's sculptural forms are reminiscent of Bernard Palissy, a French ceramicist from the 1600s.
