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 />
