Leslie Bergeron's ceramic work has been inspired by her years of exploring the technique of raku. The basic forms she incorporates are circles, squares, triangles and spirals. These may be the sculptural elements of a piece, or they may be decorative elements.
Bergeron uses contrast to wonderful effect: soft blended colours in her glazes reside next to bold black and white graphics; sharp lines penetrate soft areas; rough textures lie beside smooth surfaces.
Her confident use of classic forms provides a welcome contrast to her application of whimsical spiral forms. These formal elements are found in Vertical Triangle Box and in Triangle Platter, among other pieces.
Bergeron has said that she challenges herself with the form "before allowing the fire to make its indelible imprint upon (her) highly designed surfaces.
