I have now taken shapes from my drawing into 3D using paper clay, which has brought back an organic connection to the original shell forms.
I took shapes out of my drawing compositions, which visually look formal so that I could translate these qualities into paper clay. It’s almost like these shapes are falling out on the composition.
I have gained a real interest in ceramics from my clay experimentation. It’s a shame this interest has come at the end of my degree year. I do intend to continue to develop my ceramic technique and skills.
