Coast is my current series of work which features stone like shapes made up of different layers clay. Some of the clay is solid others are cratered resembling volcanic rock. Some pieces are solid, some are cut in half purposely, other crumple and come apart during the drying and firing process. Once they are fired to bisque they are put on the linisher to alter their shape and sand blasted to and more detail to the surface. |
This series of work is inspired by the layers of rock (Strata) seen in cliff faces those seen in seascapes. Below are images of some whole pices and arrangements, as well as detail shots and images used as part of my insperation. The coastl and rock images were all taken by me from several visits to Llanwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan. |
