Functional Ceramics

• I make pottery.
• I am committed to the daily act of making
  beautiful objects and insistent about creating
  with my hands. A need for beautiful domestic
  objects and an instinctual drive to create
  things, are tremendous dance partners for idea
  and desire.

• Karen Swylers elegant porcelain ceramics are
  both understated and eloquent. While they may
  reference the vessel, their altering and pairing
  speak volumes about relationships.

• Rowan's boxes and sculptures suggest 'archaic'
  industrial forms that allude to modernity and to
  industrialized society, driven by capital, while
  also exploiting to the full the nature of the
  material he has sourced and the vagaries of his
  firing processes." Edmund De Waal, artist,
  historian, critic

• There are primitive animal instincts lurking in
  our own depths, waiting for the chance to slide
  past a conscious moment. The sculptures I create
  focus on human psychology, stripped of context
  and rationalization, and articulated through
  animal and human forms. On the surface, these
  figures are simply feral and domestic individuals
  suspended in a moment of tension. Beneath the
  surface they embody the impacts of aggression,
  territorial desires, isolation, and pack
  mentality.
