Seed Pod Series - Various (please use drop down menu to view and purchase)
ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m a practising studio ceramicist with 25 years' experience, living and creating in the Blue Mountains, and specialising in hand-built pieces. I’m intrigued by the use of organic materials (minerals) to create the illusion of other organic materials (vegetable).
I have created a body of work which references native flora, specifically seed pods, and the transformation of these through the bushfires that have devastated this region in recent times. Out of something so destructive an object of beauty emerges this is mirrored in the process of creating a ceramic piece and its transformation by fire. These works have been created with earthenware paper clays, oxides or clear glazes.
