Sculpted Form No. 404
Bronwen Grieves
£540
Sculpted Form No. 404 is a minimalist sculptural form decorated with white slip, which has been gently rubbed away to suggest a gradual weathering of the piece. Bronwen is inspired by her surroundings, both natural and man-made. She allows the aesthetic of the piece to develop during the making process and the simple finish of the item is purposefully utilitarian in style, referencing industrial machinery such as water towers and dockside machinery.

Process
Bronwen has been making hand-built stoneware for over three decades, continually exploring the balance between the organic and inorganic. Each vessel is built up using flattened coils of grogged stoneware clay, which have been incised with vertical or horizontal lines. She uses slip sparingly, partially rubbing it down to create textural effects and the impression of weathering. Finally, the pieces are fired up to 1200 degrees in a kiln.



Bronwen Grieves is a Nottingham based ceramicist who creates decorative vessels that balance structure with fluidity. Largely self taught, Bronwen has been refining her ideas and process over the course of three decades. Using both organic and manmade forms as a reference point, Bronwen is interested in the plinths, legs and arches which hold up constructions, such as bridges and water-towers, and incorporates these ideas into her forms. Bronwen creates pieces that are purposefully utilitarian in style.
