Cobalt

20th July - 31st Aug 2024

Common Clay Gallery - Beeching Rd Studios, Bexhill

Drawing on the rich historical importance of ceramics to global culture and trade, Katie Boccaccini Meadows creates sculptural and functional objects which are both playful and expertly crafted. Thrown on the wheel then assembled, her forms are derived from influences across multiple ceramic traditions.

For this exhibition Meadows is interested in the historical importance of cobalt oxide in the decoration of ceramics and how its use has embodied iconic design styles across cultures, beginning in 14th century China through to the present day.
