Olivia Walker
Olivia Walker is fascinated with the intersection between the man-made and natural. Using porcelain, she throws precise forms, then covers them in paper-thin accretions. These organic, lichen-like growths speak of organisms - fungus, coral and bacteria - growing over and devouring the form beneath. Olivia Walker’s current body of work looks at the fine line between growth and decay. Her work is held in both public and private collections throughout the UK and worldwide.

Maker's Quote
Each piece I make is unique. I spend many days building up the texture that I apply to the surface of a piece. This texture is made up from individually made and applied shards of clay, and therefore the final piece can’t be replicated.
