“You get a real sense from George Ohr’s work of the possible freedoms for creative people that come with not benchmarking ourselves against ‘everyone else’ – much harder to do now when we can always see what everyone else is doing (and how well they’re doing it!). I was drawn to the organicism of Ohr’s ‘collapsed’ pots and reached for some nearby felt as my malleable material. Very simply, I cut some circles, doubled them up and then ran some thread through them—pulling it tight—to bring about the puckering and the curvature.” August 2024
