Description

web13.jpgA unique opportunity to see the wonderful ceramic sculpture by Claire Curneen. Her first solo exhibition in Cardiff - Claire has created a new body of work - a development in her research into the human condition and spirituality.

'Passage' explores the journeys people make through space and time. The figurative pieces often refer to images of Christian Iconography, quoting narratives of sacrifice and devotion.

Figures encompass elements of human experiences: love, loss, suffering and compassion. But the work always embody hope. Figures bleed gold, trees sprout gold buds and heads are overcome by flowers.

An exhibition booklet accompanies the exhibition, with a review by Natasha Mayo.

Claire will be in conversation with ceramicist Natasha Mayo in the exhibition area at Craft in the Bay on Saturday 27th March at 11am. Free event.
