interviews, were also created by Dunn and viewed on a separate LCD screen at the opposite end <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Ceram ic artist Neil H<strong>of</strong>fmann initially made his livelihood from produdion pot making. More recently,<br />
his questioning <strong>of</strong> his own identity in relation to material earth has seen the gradual evolution <strong>of</strong> a<br />

thoughts, giving rise to his Animate Earth and the Moving Ground series in which annelid-like and<br />
other forms referred to ancient time and primordial life .<br />
