Robert “Boomer” Moore has created a body of work that highlights his playfulness, craftsmanship, animation, and personality. He has always been process oriented, with an interest in diverse materials and fabricating methods. He is well known for bulbous sandblasted pieces. More recently his work has turned to mixed-media pieces, such as Sterile, which came about after the birth of his first child, when everything had to be sterilized. The ceramic part is made from indigenous Ohio clay, and the green glass was a nonrecyclable material from Athens, Ohio, where his children were born. Repeatedly drawn to objects such as old and rusted toys, he has remarked that “sandblasting has allowed me to subtract fired layers of glaze to achieve much the same surface quality.”
