Outer Space

Outer Space is a collection of imagined skyrockets from other planets, materialised on planet earth.

The work is hand built from clay, biscuit fired and then raku glazed. The intense elemental raku process - plucking the pieces from a red hot kiln, plunging them into sawdust and finally submerging them in water - echoes the narrative.

Burnt, blistered, brooding rockets. Metallic glinting rockets gleaming with triumph. Dark, dangerous, spiked armed rockets.

Mysterious shining space ships and sputniks all on long unknown journeys. Each piece with its own history.
