Title: Ocean Cliffs nerikomi vessel

Medium: Stoneware, pigments, internally glazed

Gillian Hodes 2022

Ceramic Artist

Statement:

I regularly walk the rugged Sydney coastline, between the ocean, cliffs and wild native vegetation. Striations of metal-rich volcanic lava run through the sandstone, while wind, sun and water erode intricate patterns.

In order to express this in clay, I use a Japanese technique called nerikomi, where layers of colour run through clay as opposed to on its surface. As I join and manipulate clay pieces, the emergent patterns echo the movement of lava and molten sandstone.

Bronze casting is an ancient technique that still prevalent and its performed  following the same structure, the original work is made out of clay, followed by the lost wax process that includes a extended process between negative and positive moulds to finally allow the molten metal to take the desired shape of the final Bronze sculpture.
