This is my most recent development in my work which is between an object and a functional dish. It is the beginning of a series of works that are rooted in my thoughts about the frenetic change that is taking place in our world and communities. I am a senior working class maker who sat in a shed this summer whilst forest fires raged. This is against a backdrop of drastically changing values and increasing polarisation in terms of wealth and identity. In the meantime I am assessing my own juxtaposition with this unfamiliar and unforgiving horizon of change and the unknown. It isn't surprising that I am focussing on the intimate and nuanced nature of my clay. I am taking a tally of what has gone before and what will be? I make mixes of clays according to what I want to communicate and this surface has a reduced variety of colour. I am standing in a static position, trying to make sense of a world using a muted but highly textured palette.
