I am keen to use narrative ceramics to tell complete stories. These pieces show a simple story of the three stages of war. The removeable window reveals an illuminated image on the inside showing the soldiers' families left behind. The tactile nature of ceramics makes it an ideal method of revealing narratives. These pieces are displayed so that the viewer can touch and turn them to follow the narrative at their own pace. For more details contact me.
