A ceramic sculpture epitomising the simplicity of form and textural elements typical of Wendy Lawrence’s work.
The herringbone pattern is carved with hand tools to echo the striations found in rock and ancient stone edifices, becoming part of the form as well as the surface of the piece.
Inspired by ancient stone circles this piece generates a sense of solidity and continuity, connecting us with our heritage and spiritual landscape.
The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces.
Reminiscent of stone circles and historic obelisks, this piece reflects Wendy’s fascination with stone and its place in the landscape. The unusual colouring echoes the soft tones which emerge within stone as it reacts to the weathering of time, the curving mark through the clay an additional focal point to draw the observer into the piece.
A detailed study in clay, inspired by the heavy millstones crafted from ancient stone and etched by the milling of grain.
Made by using a range of hand building techniques, the clay is carved to create copper ribbons of clay from one focal point. Multiple layers of glaze are then added to amplify its authentic stone character.
The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces.
It’s ‘broken’ edge draws attention to the fragility of our natural world and calls us to consider the tension between decay and regeneration - and the inherent beauty which emerges from erosion.
This piece showcases Wendy’s fascination with erosion and its impact on geological formations. Hand building techniques are combined with carving to exaggerate the natural forms, creating a piece that is at once contemporary and ancient, using the natural texture of clay to connect the living with the past.
The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces.
The stone is infused with copper during the firing process to enhance the natural colours and textures of rock found on the coastline of North Wales. The abstract form captures the ‘movement’ of rock and seaweed seen through the surface water of a rock pool, referencing the texture, colour and form of coral.
The sense of ancient rock and natural erosion that permeates this piece is typical of a Wendy Lawrence sculpture. She applies multiple glazing's to the slabbed and heavily carved clay to amplify the volcanic aesthetic while the addition of copper, titanium and vanadium oxides under and over the glazing's, creates additional colour and focus within the sculpture.
