About the art
Artist statement
The Call is an intence new Series that has emerged gradually over the last 18 months while I have been spending a great deal of time out on the silent, ancient hills of the Brecon Beacons. The glacier-worn limestone here is full of fossils and caves, the marks of incomprehendable ammounts of time and change. The forms in The Call are complex, flowing and rythmic. The interior spaces are very important and there is dramatic change as you move around the sculptures.
This piece, The Call II, took a very long time to make because I kept trying to hold back the form, to keep it within more familiar spaces. It opened out the Series for me and now I have accepted the mysteries of it.
The Call II is made from layers of high-fired clays with porcelain at the surface. The colour is a soft white with black crackle.
