About The Artwork

This piece is part of my Lacuna series, works with biomorphic forms. The opening in the centre references the ceramic history of container and vessel, while its gently rounded asymmetry links the piece to natural processes, either geological such as smoothed pebbles or perhaps simple organic forms. From a distance, the piece appears smooth and white but as we move closer we become aware of the the finely grained texture beneath the satin surface. This is a quiet and minimalist work, but one that still invites the viewer to acknowledge its presence. It is hand built with a sculptural white stoneware clay using the coil technique. The making process takes a number of weeks as the form slowly emerges and is then refined. A minimal use of tools is employed to maintain the correspondence between the clay and hand.

Andrew creates minimalist ceramic forms using porcelain and high fired stoneware. He employs a colour palette from pure white through to vivid primary colours. He enjoys both the technical challenge of ceramics and the tactile quality of the finished surface. Andrew’s work is divided into a number of different series which vary from forms made on the wheel which reference traditional pottery to abstract sculptural pieces. Some are intended as large single pieces while others form groups of related objects where no two are alike. Evidence of process is an important consideration and the memory of the hand is still visible in the final works and is a vital part of their nature. Working with the minimal use of tools allows Andrew to investigate the balance between control and the element of chance and how these seemingly opposite qualities can be combined in a complementary way.
