MATERIAL

ÔShort Films of Ceramic ProcessesÕ in an un-conventional ceramic study, showing the beauty of the processes or by-products of the ceramic process rather than the final object. The artist uses ceramic faux pas such as adding water to unfired clay, disturbing ceramic dust (which is toxic and attributed to much of the ill health suffered by potters during the industrial revolution) or making quick lime by firing limestone in the kiln. These observations focus the audience on material reactions and interactions so widely known in ceramics but rarely acknowledged.
