After spending almost four years as artist-in-residence at Mrs Smith’s Cottage, I needed to step away from making work as a response to an external stimulus, and develop something that was more personal. The Tethered Quilts<\/a> were experimentations in linking ceramics and textiles together and I wanted to find another way of making this connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at first base, by looking at the literal building blocks of making a hand-stitched patchwork, gave me my inspiration. The ceramic cubes are individually constructed – very much a slow process – and provide an endless 3-D canvas for experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make the cubes as individuals, but love to arrange them in drifts and groups. Made from natural materials, I feel that they make a respectful gesture back towards the land, but hint at the ways that human intervention leaves traces in archaeology and patterns in the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the cubes are small, still sculptures, their differing decorative facets demand handling for close attention. This handling reveals that contained within are ceramic pebbles that rattle, each making a different sound… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
