.Ann Maguire
My work attempts to express the contrasts and contradictions of the human condition in abstract, sculptural terms. I am inspired by organic and man-made matrices and use this to articulate the presence of structure and freedom, and order and chaos in life. I find the fine line between strength and fragility intriguing. I also incorporate historical reproduction ceramic artefacts in to the structures I make, which for me represent the reframing of past experiences. I construct the forms using strips or coils of clay and sometimes integrate mixed media. Much of my work is glazed with engobes or low fire glazes.
