Cylinder Vessel

Paul’s work is inspired by nature and landscapes and embraces contrasts of control and chance within the making process. Textures that manifest naturally on surfaces within diverse urban and rural landscapes, are fundamental to his practice and he expresses his relationship to these through the coil-built sculptural vessel form and glazed surface. It is the correlation between the slower emerging cycles of nature and the making process leading to alchemical developments within the kiln that underpins his work.

All the vessels shown below are in stoneware with multiple oxidised slips and glazes.

Llestr Silindr

Mae gwaith Paul wedi’i ysbrydoli gan natur a thirweddau ac mae’n cofleidio cyferbyniadau o reolaeth a siawns o fewn y broses wneud. Mae gweadau sy'n amlygu'n naturiol ar arwynebau o fewn tirweddau trefol a gwledig amrywiol, yn sylfaenol i'w ymarfer ac mae'n mynegi ei berthynas â'r rhain trwy'r ffurf llestr cerfluniol a adeiladwyd gan y coil a'r arwyneb gwydrog. Y gydberthynas rhwng y cylchoedd arafach sy'n datblygu ym myd natur a'r broses wneud sy'n arwain at ddatblygiadau alcemegol o fewn yr odyn sy'n sail i'w waith.

Mae'r holl lestri a ddangosir isod mewn crochenwaith caled gyda llithriadau a gwydredd ocsidiedig lluosog.
