Clay is not clay which alters when it alteration finds.

This project explores collaboration with material, focusing on ceramics as a relationship between maker, material, and environment, and engaging with the clays agency.

I use my skillset, learnt over time and training in the ceramic industry, to do my part in creating a craft-based form. Then allowing the clay to dictate its final form by throwing rocks, collected on site-specific walks, to interact with and alter the outcome.

There is beauty in the disruption of the violated vessel. The work is fired in an atmospheric kiln, where gas and soda are used to create unpredictable interactions, altering the final appearance further. When clay and fire are treated as active contributors, the work carries a sense of presence from the journey to the outcome.

Nid clai yw clai sy’n newid pan ddaw o hyd i newid.

Mae’r project hwn yn archwilio cydweithio gyda deunydd, gan ganolbwyntio ar waith cerameg fel perthynas rhwng y gwneuthurwr, y deunydd, a’r amgylchedd, ac yn ymgysylltu â chyfrwng clai.

Rwy’n defnyddio fy set sgiliau, a ddysgwyd dros amser a drwy hyfforddiant yn y diwydiant cerameg, i chwarae fy rhan mewn creu ffurf seiliedig ar grefft. Yna’n caniatáu i’r clai fynnu ei ffurf derfynol drwy daflu cerrig, a gasglwyd wrth fynd am dro mewn safle penodol, i ryngweithio gyda’r canlyniad ac i’w newid.

Ceir prydferthwch yn aflonyddwch y llestr a amharwyd arno. Taniwyd y gwaith mewn odyn atmosfferig, lle caiff nwy a soda eu defnyddio er mwyn creu rhyngweithiadau nad oes modd eu rhagweld, gan newid yr olwg derfynol ymhellach. Pan gaiff clai a thân eu trin fel cyfranwyr gweithredol, mae’r gwaith yn dwyn ymdeimlad o bresenoldeb o’r siwrnai i’r canlyniad.
