CERAMICS
Renaissance and Pathway Series
INTRODUCTION
This is a representative selection of ceramics produced between 1981 and up to June1993 at Skyfield Studio. A data base for the variety of themes, styles, colours, shapes and forms. A small 'index code' is included with each image to provide added information.
One of the recurring themes in my work is the association between mankind and nature, but not necessarily of epic proportions, but more to do with everyday almost insignificant effects. It is in this category that the inspiration for the 'Renaissance and Pathway Series' came about, after a long distance walk around the Cornish coastal footpath in 1990 and a long held interest in it's ancient monuments.
I am always on the lookout for images and objects which signify and encapsulate something about a place.
The patterns and textures from overlaid impressions in soft earth, of shoes, a temporary mark witnessed and captured in time almost like a fossil print. The inspiration of which could then be fused into clay combined with observations and memories of a place, it's colours, textures and light.
