I have admired Cat's sculptures for a while but am now equally obsessed with her vessels. All her work has a narrative to which you can add your own story and I am thrilled to show her work here.
This piece substitutes I am a world which was shown in our preview printed invitation.
Media: Stoneware sculpture with matt glaze and oxides
Dimensions: 25 x 17 x 9cm
This piece is available to purchase in our exhibition preview but cannot be sent until mid June.
Artist Bio: Cat Santos
Cat graduated from Saint Martins in 1981 and had a printing career for 30 years. About ten years ago she took up ceramics, and found how sympathetic the surface of clay is to taking print. She explores various techniques using slips, oxides and underglazes…and to add to the possibilities, there’s all that variety of clay surfaces to use, from smooth, white porcelain, to deliciously dark, black clay or heavy, textured, grogged clay.
Unlike printing on paper or fabric, the thrill of ceramics is the transformation of the materials in the kiln. Of course, one gets to predict pretty well how the various materials will interact with each other and the heat, but there are always some surprises, and that’s what she likes; it's as if some other hand has put the final touch to her work.
