Russell Moreton

Studied Ceramics at Epsom School of Art and Design 1981-84.

Ceramic sculptures centred around ’making’ through showcasing a heavily textured, white-painted surface with perforated holes. The artworks are part of a series focusing on bridging the gap between ceramic craft and architectural form. Some of  these slab constructed forms feature weathered, textured surface with yellow and white paint splashes. The artist uses these works to demarcate and define space, exploring the intersection of craft, theory, and architecture. Using a making process that incorporates structural elements such as grid patterns, small drilled holes, and diagrammatic line work. The work explores themes of ”urbanism” and ”painterly ruination” reflecting on a spatial perception that examines the imprint of the artist on physical materials.
