Sculptural ceramics
Brighton & Wester Ross

Based at the edges, in Sussex and in Scotland, Mimi Spencer makes pieces that carry a memory of water and wind.

They harbour sea-worn margins, tidal rhythms, sharp mountain ridges, the unfurling of clouds.

a matter of form

The sea, sky and mountains inform everything. Not as decoration or motif, but as an investigation of how beautiful things are made - by pressure, by erosion, by time.

Interest lies within and without simultaneously, but most particularly at the border between the two. At this edge, matter (form, fabrication) and mind (resonance, response) might be said to intertwine.
