celebrating imperfection
Multidisciplinary artist Laurence Moracchini is opening her working studio, a former hayloft, along with invited guest artists ceramicist Thea Thompson & myself
I will be exhibiting my tactile paintings that draw inspiration from the muted palettes of northern coastal landscapes, their geology, shifting light and vast empty horizons. Working with earth pigments bound in a biodegradable soya-milk medium I developed, my materials are rooted in the landscape itself.
Laurence Moracchini - is a passionate artisan in wood, breathing new life into reclaimed and sustainably sourced materials. She embraces the beauty of imperfection and works with eco-friendly finishes and fire
Thea Thompson - Brighton based, I am a passionate maker who enjoys creating objects from clay. I primarily hand build my pieces and love to experiment with decoration techniques, slips and glazes. Inspired by the landscapes of the places I visit, my handbuilt vessels reflect rugged geology;
