Josephine Powell

Josephine hopes to portray a feeling of the remote shores she explored while growing up and continues to visit as an adult. The shape and surface of the hand-built forms echo familiar granite boulders, round and organic, while the glaze on the lip and interior suggests the waterline. Using the coiling technique and a reductive process, she pushes and scrapes the clay to reveal the desired form. Juxtaposed with these stone-like vessels, are more delicate wheel-thrown pieces. She uses gestural brushstrokes and colour to develop the surface of this work. She is interested in the transparent nature of coloured slip; how colour can be layered and how brushstroke can give a sense of movement. When side by side the two approaches complement each other, creating an interesting conversation.
