Roz Adams – Artist in Residence
Artist-maker Roz Adams has recently graduated from Cardiff School of Art and Design where she has developed a practice that encompasses digital and traditional craft techniques. The artist creates cast objects, predominantly in metal, that ‘represent the relationship between form and surface’. During her month-long residency at Courtyard Arts, Adams will create an immersive ceramic installation – a material representation of infinity.
Until 27 August 2016, Courtyard Arts, Port Vale, Hertford.
