Addiction - Our Modern Worship
Ceramics 6 pieces
 
St George Girls High School In ancient cultures ceramics were used in religious rituals, to give offerings and thanks to the gods. But in the growing spiritual emptiness of the twenty-first century, what is it that we worship?
We live in a paranoid and self-indulgent era. I find that, increasingly we become slaves to our own vices. My work represents an offering to the 'gods' that have deserted our avaricious age.
A salute to Jean Michel Basquiat, Picasso's Guernica, Barbara Hanrahan, Barbara Hepworth and the Art Brut work of Jean Dubuffet, who all lent various dimensions to my work.
