MA Ceramics 2004

Anne Gibbs

It is the ability of objects to be simultaneously signs and symbol, to carry a true part of the past into the present, but to bear perpetual symbol reinterpretation, which is the essence of their peculiar and ambiguous power.

'Pearce, S, M (1992) Museums, Collections and Objects'.

The display and organisation of these selected and found objects are used singularly or as a collective. In their presentation this demands an individual response and enables the personal narrative to be made visible. Through the intervention and subversion of these objects, their history, intimacy and sensory qualities embodied within them inform my concerns in my present practice.
