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.

Though visually appealing, surfaces can evoke memory through touch. Using burnishing, scraping and dry glazing, Claire has created tactile works inviting connection, questioning what lies beneath, and encouraging personal reflection through organic vessels of varying forms.

The opening night is on 27 August from 7-9pm. Please check the web site for opening hour for the exhibition which is on until 19 September.
