New Designers

Next Stop, London Business Centre for graduate show New Designers.  I will be exhibiting my jewellery alongside ceramic work by Poliana Bandeira, Neill Curran, Ray Church and Contemporary Enamelware by Lyndon James Davies.

DATE - 26TH - 29TH JUNE 2013
PLACE - BUSINESS CENTRE, LONDON
STAND NUMBER - CAA33

EXHIBITORS:






Katie Owen’s contemporary jewellery and small sculpture draws source material from the built landscape and related found objects. The work takes inspiration from abandoned industrial structures situated on the outskirts of towns and cities, referred to as ‘Edgelands’. The jewellery pieces involve multiple, interchangeable parts featuring enamel elements. When not on the body, these interchangeable parts exist as feature elements on small concrete and metal sculptures.

Lyndon James Davies - designer maker - When Lyndon’s not flying up and down forest trails on his bike, he will be tootling along at snail speed on road trips in OJO, his old Commer camper van. Lyndon’s creative practice brings together inspiration from these elements in a range of enamelware. The surface designs feature Commer and VW motifs created by photographing old unloved toy cars.

Poliana Bandeira is a ceramic artist who is inspired by natural structures and geometrical forms. Her latest work explores the life cycle of butterflies and their transformation as continuity of life. Her biomorphic sculptures are hand built in stoneware using coiling techniques and finished with layers of dry glazes.

Ray Church – Ceramic artist who makes classical styled thrown vessels. Ray’s inspiration is drawn directly from the use of imagery on classical pottery originating mainly from Greece. The images and surfaces are acute and challenging  commentaries on our society and culture today. He has retained aspects of specific symbolic elements of Greek mythology and juxtaposed them with contemporary images in an attempt to convey a social discourse; such as class, digital culture and social stereotypes.

Neill Curran is a potter and ceramic artist who makes thrown Raku and soda fired vessels with distinctive and dramatic surfaces. The current theme of his work involves the uses of Anamorphosis, the idea of creating an exact viewpoint from which to view geometric shapes. The Anamorphic marks on the surface of the vessels are embedded by smoke penetrating the surface of the vessel. He is also incorporating an oriental theme within his work with the use of Japanese cultural symbols.
