Product description
Mixed media incorporating my own hand made ceramics, plus salvaged ceramics and found material
.
My pieces start life in the Studio as a response to the materials – my own handmade ceramics plus gifted, salvaged & found material: disparate elements that each have a history. I work intuitively allowing the design to form spontaneously, then meticulously work into the composition, developing & creating new areas of detail & texture contrasting with areas of flat colour.
Recurring visual motifs suggest the coast, the sea & man-made settlements suggestive of time passing with physical structures remaining to tell the story. The underlying theme of each piece emerges whilst it’s being formed, along with the title. In this piece I imagine a time when pagan beliefs were more prevalent than today, although a reemergence is happening.
