In this exhibition Claire French explores how both form and surface of a vessel can embody a personal narrative and energy, enabling exploration of human memory and experience. While the surface encompasses artistic expression, it also acts as a canvas extending the narrative within the form. Eroded, scraped surfaces will metaphorically reflect how time wears down body and mind, transforming alluring, smooth textures into dry, skins that are not what they seem.
The exhibition runs until Saturday 19 September.
