Sharon Griffin – Sculptor
Sharon Griffin is a figurative artist who
specialises in ceramic sculpture directly inspired
by the woodland, where she often explores
places in which to ‘breathe’.... The textures, the
smells, the secret spaces all provide a kind of
‘awakening’... Sharon uses the human figure to
help communicate a sense of deeper meaning
within humankind and of her own experience
of being a woman. The sculptures represent a
state of being; internal struggles of love, loss,
displacement, vulnerability and strength. Sharon
uses clay as a sculptural medium; a 3D canvas.
Preliminary sketches in 2D and drawings from
life inform the work, helping ideas evolve. Once
in the workshop however, when the clay is being
worked with directly, the sculpture is allowed to
reveal itself as it is worked with: a conversation
with clay.
