Walker, Ros

My ceramic work takes inspiration from the colours, patterns, and textures of
the natural world, specifically the local landscape, and I seek to portray the
fragile, transient beauty found within all stages of the cycle of life and death.
I am especially interested in using the local clay from Kirkham, experimenting
with organic additions and alternative firing techniques to create unique pieces
that are both inspired by and formed directly from the local landscape. I both
throw and handbuild and love to combine different media such as glass, wire,
paper, and grasses in my more sculptural pieces.
