Laurie Lindow

 

I rarely feature ceramics here, I save examples I love on Pinterest, but I am going to make an exception with the work of Laurie Lindow, whose degree show is a testament to little everyday things that jigsaw seamlessly into our lives, virtually beyond consciousness and definitely under appreciated. 

A ceramic diary of her life, even manifesting, in a wee bottle of Proseco and a congratulations card for her show. 

Emma Carlow

I especially love the bats in this exhibition of ceramic works by Emma Carlow at Meiklejohn Gallery Lewes until October 25th. 

“There are 2300 species that rely on oak trees for their food, a home and a breeding ground. This new work results from a time where I have begun to explore, record and celebrate this pocket of countryside incase it becomes lost. It has been a chance for me to connect with the location and to explore my confused emotions around the genuine need for housing and an equal importance to preserve green spaces, starting a conversation about these seemingly opposing agendas."

Edith Morris

 Cornwall-based artist Edith Morris, Edith has been immersed in Celtic folklore from a young age, which has always inspired her work. For this collection, we asked Edith to explore the folklore tales of Europe. Many of these tales have pagan roots, often predating Christian beliefs, and are closely tied to nature, the seasons and ancient rituals. These ceramic tiles were commissioned by The Shop Floor Project.

Tania Font

 

Tania Font's latest series of ceramic sculptures feels so pertinent and poignant with too many constant wars, culture wars and damage, these silent figures with their heads broken and thoughts exposed are too vulnerable and stoic, I want to give them a hug, take them home and let them heal.

Suna Imre

 

I haven't featured ceramics here for a long time, but I wanted to share the stunningly sensitive work of Suna Imre particularly her raw clay vessels with native plants which she likes to leave to just melt back into the ground. 

Veera Krouglov I

Veera Krouglov has just graduated in Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone Art College but her work traverses many media. I thought of the creatures of Tove Janson's imagination when I saw Veera's work, the characters are enigmatic, complicated and sometimes not that friendly looking, the work of nightmares, fairy tales and cautionary tales.

"My work is an unravelling of themes, characters and personalities that I continuously pick up from various sources. I am fascinated with the endless details of life; how little birds move in that strange twitchy way, how people or animals carry themselves and interact with each other and how plants can grow in the most unexpected places. All this information gets jumbled up in my brain and turns into some sort of fantastical caricature of life. My practice consists of drawing, making ceramics and other sculptural work, making small publications and more recently animation." Veera Krouglov
