Ruinscape : archetpyes of form and spirit
Abstract
The megalithic architecture of many cultures throughout history share a continuity of form language that is archetypal, and therefore independent of distance or location. I am interested in the distinct sense of the enigmatic, sacred and monumental presence that these ancient sites convey. My work focuses on the creation of sculptural ceramic objects inspired by ancient stone architecture. My aim is to create objects that imply a far-reaching perspective that has been imbued with a perceptible sense of sacred and mysterious utility. By echoing ancient architecture, my work points to our shared past as a way to bring focus to our common humanity and draw connections to historic cultures.
