Wall Works About
‘Wall Works’ take as their starting point directly observed details from everyday life. Quickly taken, phone camera images are cropped and recontextualised to reveal moments of accidental abstract art.
The process of making the ceramic panels, monoprinting from plaster using a slab of clay like a sheet of paper, develops the graphic qualities and adds textural details. The fired surface can contine to be worked and layered with engobes and oxides to create subtle and uniquely ceramic surfaces.

Pieces are made with a process related to mono-printing using slips and paper resist techniques on a textured plaster block and using slab of clay like a sheet of paper. The process creates a unique composition with fine relief detail. Stack comes from chimney stacks seen on gable ends of houses and are often revealed when the adjoining house has been demolished.
