Posted @withregram • @studiogeist_21 TO RADICALLY RECONFIGURE: ADAPTIVETo Radically Reconfigure: Adaptive is the latest of our three shows showcasing 3rd year BA Ceramics students from Cardiff School@of Art and Design. This is Emily Whitworth. ‘These pieces were inspired by a piece by Robin Welch, which I saw when we first visited the collection, his work his work made me more interested and want to experiment with form and texture in my own work in my own work. When lockdown happened, I wanted to continue to create work and continue my experimentation, I started using papier – mache and I fell in love with the process. It has a similar ability as clay and you can use it to mould into the forms you wanted. I used this process to create my tube forms and added other items to create texture and colours. I started using expanding foam and filler to create texture on these pieces and found they made exciting end results. These pieces represent the chaos of lockdown and the confusion felt by a lot of people and I wanted to create pieces that could bring joy and humour during that time. The colours mirrored the joy that was still around even when lockdown first hit.’ @studiogeist_21 #studiogeist #studioceramics #artistpotter #contemporaryart #contemporaryceramics #csad @csad_ceramics #csadceramics #bristolart #stradlingcollection #kenstradling #ceramics
