Guided by the work of German Modernist architect Bruno Taut and his explosive illustrated manifesto ‘Alpine Architectur’ (1920) I explored the local landscape making drawings, and recording and collecting any dead vegetation.
I was on the look out for any ‘striped’ vegetation – a generally unstable group of plants. Any suitable dead material was burned to produce ash. At a later date the ash will be incorporated into my ceramic glazes. Applied to experimental ceramic sculptures, echos of Taut’s visionary thinking and radical drawings will be made manifest.
