Ceramics

Throughout the year I created many ceramic pieces. I began first with several miniature experiments inspired by Palaeolithic Venus figurines, and then continued to make larger pieces inspired by ancient Grecian, Celtic, Chinese, Egyptian and Latin American pottery. I explored the function and history of my own ceramics, creating backstories for my objects. I utilised stories and memories I had collected as a basis for illustrating my pieces. I was inspired by the hills and scenery of my local area, as well as plants, mushrooms and stones I have documented whilst outdoors.

I aimed to incorporate these shapes into these figurines as well as this I utilised colours found in these objects and landscapes to decorate these figurines. I also created several sequential tiles based on collected writings. These tiles are inspired by antique delftware
