Dawn’s practice has always centred around the exploration of a personal landscape. She says of recent work, “There is a certain feeling of familiarity that a glazed, ceramic object can evoke, this allows it the potential as a vehicle to explore the object as metaphor. In a traditional form ceramic has the ability to represent an ‘elsewhere’ in a familiar domestic setting and I am interested in the shift of consciousness (whether it be a memory or a notion) that it can cause. Because the familiar allows us to make sense of our environment, I gather glimpses of it and literally lay them on the table, individual elements recorded as ceramic objects, as an investigation into how we view and interact with our surroundings.” In
addition to studio work, Dawn has taught part time at Glasgow School
of Art and John Wheatley College in Glasgow, as well as running
art based projects for various client groups within the west of
Scotland. |
