In this exhibition, I explore the liminal time when the world is in transition from day to night. Liminality is a region of blurred boundaries that always contains an element of fluidity. I am particularly conscious of this transition as we move into autumn, when night comes on faster each day, and the light wanes. A liminal space can feel uncomfortable, and make us question our perception. The three-dimensional wall sculptures and pedestal pieces in this show reflect the idea of fluidity and transition. Atmospheric firing techniques such as pit firing and raku are used to create smoky, dark surfaces that evoke twilight.
