| Megan Randall / Ceramics / UK |
Megan Randall is a
contemporary ceramic artist, and is a current PhD student a Sunderland University
where her research focuses on the placement of domestic ceramic objects
responding to the context of site. Her work makes use of thrown
porcelain alongside other less traditional materials and found objects. Working
on the wheel is repetitive this gives pieces a rhythm and flow. Recent work has
focused on willow pattern designs, which create their own narrative around
domestic spaces, industrial sites and the notions of home.
In the past her work has
included site specific installation and interventions alongside designed and
hand crafted ceramic objects. The link between the separate worlds of fine art
concept and that of designer/maker is the consistent use of porcelain which
evokes a sense of luxury, fragility and, in some pieces, vulnerability. Her work combines new
technology through the use of the waterjet cutter with the altering of the
readymade object.
