Simon’s work is characterized by minimalist porcelain forms and clean, simple glazing, often pure white. She inserts nichrome wire for handles or other accoutrements, such as the crossed wire piercing the acorn-shaped Covered Jar. Along with wire, sometimes she adds seeds, acorns, or thread. Her pottery has a contemporary air, yet also feels familiar and comforting. Simon has embraced the aesthetic and philosophy that grew out of the Japanese mingei tradition, as practiced by Warren MacKenzie. Mingei manifests the simplicity, utility, and timeless beauty of folk art in everyday things. She has remained true to these ideals throughout her forty-year career.
