J ill Symes<br />
My sculptural work<br />
relates to landscape, the<br />
sea, and the sky, with<br />
reference to the human<br />
connection. My practice<br />
consists of works mainly in<br />
clay, using techniques of<br />
slab, coil, pinch and layer<br />
to produce forms and<br />
surfaces which allude to<br />
our primitive and organic<br />
origins. The beauty of<br />
simplicity in form and<br />
truth to materials are<br />
essential concerns to me.<br />
‘‘Images of the Sea (Sail,<br />
Hull & Fish)’ responds to<br />
my daily visits to the sea<br />
observing colours, textures<br />
and shapes that appear in<br />
this environment.<br />
