Helen Sharpe
hesceramics@msn.comI am a Ceramicist although I like to use other materials as well as clay. Clay is a wonderful material very malleable and versatile, you can change its strength, texture, colour and form but it also imposes its own limits. The trick is to find what those limits are and attain them while still making something that converses with the viewer.
Although my work is primarily about the materials I use, it is influenced greatly by the natural world and my present work is a look at Coral Reefs, their form and structure, the intrusion of man into that environment and its ability to recover. How do we conserve the natural world and its wonders whilst maintaining the rights of indigenous populations to make a living and feed their families?
