'We come to love not by finding the perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly' Sam keen 1996.
The above quote is such a sentimental version of everyone. And about seeing the good in the damaged and the beauty in the flawed. All children are born perfect, but this is questionable with David William Sampson's creations.
Some will see the children and have an instant parental instinct, then look closer to see that they are decapitated, broken faced or damaged and it leaves people unknowing how to feel; this conjuring of mixture of emotions and it is that very element that evokes intrigue and conversations! Some people are unsure if to be scared, hate or if to love them even more. They are all intriguing little characters that are all individual and hold their own temperament, from princes to clowns and apomorphic elements creeping in, these children just want to play, be loved and adopted into a new family.
David William Sampson is a ceramic artist in Long Eaton, Derbyshire and work from his coummity professional studio. Here he makes his children. The ethos of David William Sampsons work comes from a different perspective from most ceramcis. As often; cracks, pin-holed glazing, mixing of clay and patchy slips are seen as defects, but David William has created a body of work that enhances and celebrates these, each is still beautiful and valid in its own right. They have been made imperfectly-perfect with confident construction and finishes applied.
Check out these children. They only want to be loved like any other child. For adoptions and more info on David William Sampson check out
