Pottery that has been handled and traveled has a certain something about it. Is it a physical quality or is it a psychological resonance that we pick up on through socialization?
Old plates found in op-shops were my first pottery purchases, back then they cost about 50 cents. I still love mixing the old with the new.
Welcome to "Strange Fragments". I am an Australian contemporary ceramicist and believe that artists should spread their knowledge to increase a general understanding of what we do and build communities throughout the world.
"Strange Fragments" explores the strange byways and obscure currents of contemporary craft and design
Everyday objects are stranger than we think. The world is full of fascinating, unknowable things. Drawings connect me to the user of the vessel. When drinking out of a cup and idly running your finger across a texture or pattern it inserts another element into idle musing – me saying “Look closer” “Connect”.”

That table makes me want to sit down and join the group for breakfast.
No "new" cups & saucers in DJ's or Myer can replace the beautiful shabby-chic of yesteryear! luv the pie dish as well.
