Glasgow School of Art, BA Hons. Design  (2004-2008)

October 2008
The Strathearn Gallery in Crieff, Perthshire is now exhibiting new graduates work along side its main exhibition Coastlines and Horizons, open on Saturday 4th October and runs until 8th November. The link to the gallery is under Links and you can preview the work of the artists involved. I have nearly completed the work for the 'Alternative Giving 2008' exhibition in the West Kilbride Craft Town Scotland Gallery (1st November until 23 December 2008) and am pleased to have the addition of a bigger kiln in the studio. Work for a late November exhibition at the Biscuit Factory Gallery in Newcastle is on-going and there are some projects in the developing stage for after that.......hope to fit a holiday in too!

Designing colourful drawings and patterns which can be widely applied has great appeal for me also to meet the challenge of transference between two dimensions and three.

By allowing the drawing to integrate with each technique, slip-casting, hand-building and throwing, sharp and blurred images and edges, focussed and unfocussed moments are created. By allowing the parts of the mould making process to be the forms themselves, the negative and positive spaces are exposed bringing about a closer focus on the moments in the making experience. The colour can be vibrant yet subtle, clear and still then moving speedily through. The shiny and matt surfaces illustrate the beauty of the material and the clarity of the ceramic result.

These pieces combine form, colour and pattern with the intention of exploring the space where ideas and places move into objects each conveying their own moments of clarity.
