Aldeburgh Beach 2, World Oyster series Photograph

*******I am an artist currently working with clay and learning handbuilding and to throw on the wheel, exploring jar/pot/vessel forms and their surfaces. Underlying themes are of ancient peoples, origins, journeys. I am documenting this current work to a dedicated Instagram account ('at'allinthe.art) to show how a/this body of artwork gradually comes into being. I sense this will be work over several years. I feel arts and creativity are very important for people to actively experience and make non-rational discoveries in a world where this mode of learning is increasingly side-lined. *******I work/have worked with a variety of materials and processes; photography, paper, book arts and the written word, glass, built sculpture, and natural or recycled materials. *******For my 'Glass and Light' series, I have revisited earlier work, particularly of the Australian 'Sculpture by the Sea' 2013/14 exhibitions. ******My photography, 'Real/Unreal' series, 'Dynamic Earth' series, 'Opus Magnum' series, is about world beaches visited, their visual 'outer' landscapes, and their 'inner' microscopic awe-inspiring sand grains. *******I hope that my work stirs questions and gently widens perspectives and sensibilities. *******For 'bread and butter' I currently work at the Britten Pears Arts (charity) Snape Maltings Concert Hall and music campus site, on the banks of the Alde Estuary, in a non arts capacity, but absorbing the creative vibes. Also at the Aldeburgh Cinema Trust box office. *******Please note: My photographic and 2D artwork is available to buy here as open edition prints on photo paper at small size. Please contact me via my Instagram if you have queries.
