EVAN Gallery, Penrith, 17 October – 7 November, 2025
These ceramic works explore the meeting point between memory and landscape — where fragments of childhood, poetry, and nature are held in delicate balance. Each hand built piece layers text, image, and coloured slip to evoke a dreamlike sense of continuity between past and present.
Original prose mixed with poetry by Alice Oswald, Roden Noel and Richard Garnett ripple across surfaces like waves of remembered voices, while original vintage illustrations, seaside motifs and photographs recall the innocence and wonder of early discovery. Birds, coastlines, and quiet rural moments unfold across the clay, reminding us that the natural world endures — cyclical, nurturing, and timeless — as human memory drifts and reforms like the tide.
Through their translucent glazes and softly collaged imagery, these works invite reflection on how stories, childhood, and nature intertwine, each shaping the other in enduring, tender ways.
