“This work so artfully combines stillness and a sense of risk, of fragility.
Sometimes it is a single object – then there are those seemingly arbitrary couplings or slightly perverse groupings that quietly and insistently demand a shift in our perception.
Indeed they all were once, in the making process, exceedingly fragile; needing, before and during both bisque and high temperature reduction firing, to be propped up or supported upside down and fired on porcelain trays or setters: carefully, patiently, slowly, surely, crafted. But now, strong, dense, confident, beautiful – to be used, to be held.
I hope you see these pots when the sun is out. They quicken with light, The pale objects are softly luminous and translucent, while the dark aubergines and blacks glow satiny rich, their rims reflecting.”
— Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, 2005
