Surroundings
Texture, shape and colour come to bear in the creative space of a ceramicist in the work Surroundings. The images play with cyclical rhythms, drawing on the meditative quality of the ocean’s movement and that of the artist’s craft. Materials of nature are brought into the domestic setting, nature’s strength somehow tamed under human touch, embodied as a trace. Reflection on the ceramicist’s inspiration from the ocean’s texture, shapes and colour in creating works extends an invitation to contemplate one’s own surroundings, and their impact. What is surrounding you? What do your eyes rest on that draws you to the here and now, that makes you more aware, that allows you to lose yourself, or conversely find yourself, in mindfulness?
