The nature of a foster home is that the appearance and function
of the rooms constantly changes, and over time I realised that
now when I go into a room what I see isn't necessarily how I remember
it.
This made me think about the way that my childhood memories are
contained in the houses that I have lived in, and then to think
further - Pots, like rooms, like buildings are containers. I am
attempting to create vessels to contain my memories.
To achieve this my work must represent aspects of architectural
form such as the planes, edges, corners, openings and curves that
make up the external building. I found that studying buildings
and structural spaces sharpened my awareness of proportion, which
in turn has informed my ceramic decision-making.
My main aim in the use of any source material is to lodge the imagery
into my minds eye and work with the ideas, shapes, forms, and colour
in an interpretative way and not be constrained by the original sources. |
