FynArts Booklet 2017

Margot Rudolph draws inspiration from the textures of indigenous plants to work within a distinct African theme.
Her vibrant works of art are mainly in stoneware combined with colours.
Mark Chapman, a resident of Stanford, produces ceramics that are fun and quirky with each piece expressing some
form of character, a sense of humour and a fine eye for detail.
Monica van den Berg. Central to her work is humanity, and most notably, the human head; the center of thought, reason and creativity.
Her sculptures reflect an intense relationship between herself and the clay with which she is working.
Nanette Ranger has, since completing her fine arts degree, experimented with various materials and techniques; being increasingly drawn to sculpture.
The skills developed provide her the opportunity to work in bronze and on a much larger scale.
Rae Goosen combines childhood memories and current events in her ‘multiples’ in both ceramics and drawings on paper. Her current work uses repetitive
forms within an installation context. Techniques of layering attempt to intrigue and unnerve the viewer.
Sandy Godwin enjoys the challenges of working with porcelain clay and its qualities of translucency and whiteness. She has a passion for fabrics and
decorates her pieces using different lace and stockings.
Exhibitions - Ceramics
Shannon Philips is an artist who enjoys working with mixed medium on canvas. Her passion is landscape, abstract art and ceramics. Her unstructured
ceramic bowls have been displayed at Design Indaba.
Susan Lornas was initially fascinated by Raku and Pit firing. Recently she has worked with porcelain; enjoying the fragility and translucency this clay
allows. Constantly evolving, learning new techniques and “taking it further” inform her works.
Tania Babb’s work emanates from a fascination with people and relationships; to each other, to themselves, objects or moments in their lives. She aims to
“capture fleeting moments” in her favourite buttery porcelain.
Tiffany Wallace uses clay as the medium to express her stories; from childhood doodles to more sophisticated whimsical narratives. She aims to
capture the interaction of her beliefs and relationships in quirky, figurative utilitarian forms.
Wilma Cruise mainly works with fired clay in her renderings of life-sized human and animal figures. Her sculptural, rather than studio pottery, background
enables her to incorporate materials such as wood and acrylic resin into her creations.
