CAROLINE GRAY

ARTIST STATEMENT

Caroline Gray’s ceramic works, made in groups and pairs, explore the subtle interactions between both her sculptural vessels and abstract forms. In her arrangements, colour, light, shadow and positive/negative space create visual conversations which articulate, in a quiet, considered way, the minutiae of human interaction.

The flat pattern or template is central to her process. Her slab building technique allows her pieces to evolve intuitively as she alters, splices and rejoins the clay to create the curves, planes and angles which render each piece subtley unique. The slow, contemplative process of hand-building is at the heart of her practice as is the use of coloured terra sigillata, a super-refined slip which reveals every minute ‘imperfection’ and fine detail of the hand-made process.
