We are starting an occasional feature on the LAS website for featured artists. We hope this will grow into an archive of our members, who they are and their work.
To get the ball rolling here’s the first, appropriately featuring one of our most long standing members Keith Roper…
Gill works across media in installation, sculpture and object-based practices. A specialist in glass, colour and light are integral to her works which range from the small and intimate to the large and expansive. Her practice in the public realm embraces large scale projections and light works, engaging with themes of environment and place, while her studio practice focusses on small serial works inspired by her coastal and nature walks. See Gill’s page here
Carrie’s sculptural vessels are generally coil built, either from grogged porcelain white stoneware, or raku clay with carved and impressed textures using light and shade to create surface interest alongside the mesmerising colours achieved from Raku. See Carrie’s page here
Liz a Lincolnshire-based ceramic sculptor creating artworks rooted in close observation of wildlife and the ancient lore of the countryside. Her practice centres on a connection to the natural world and reflects real encounters with wildlife. See Liz’s page here
