Richard Winfield

The inspiration behind Richard Winfield's work is fascination with two dimensional depiction of three dimensional form, but on the grand scale of the cartographer or geologist. Different coloured glazes are carefully trailed and juxtaposed over the large surfaces of platters and plates, with particular attention to line and containment. The firing process softens line, producing a more dynamic visual effect, echoing some of the amazing revelations made when the natural world is 'cut open' by mapping, or with a rock hammer. Functionality of the form pays homage to the simple origins of early ceramic forms in the found natural object.
