Frequent exposure in the Rocky Mountain
foothills to varying sun, wind and snowy conditions … clays and glazes
generate thoughts of glacial lakes, drying prairie sloughs, river banks,
patterns of farming … intimate views or grand sweeps …

| "...Chalke
challenges the pot in a significantly different way. Chalke is the
punster potter, the craftsman still challenging his craft in exploratory
directions....more deferential to an oriental-cum funky approach to his
material and surfaces, curiously alternating obeisance and denial of an
illustrious tradition."
Ricardo Gomez. "Western Canadian Ceramic
Sculpture: A Ten Year Perspective." Issues in Clay: Western
Canadian Sculpture. Edmonton: Latitude 53 Society of Artists,

"The real reason for making art, I think, is
because it didn't work out, and then you go back to square one or square
three or some square..." John Chalke (Collins, 9)
