ECHEA

'Echea'   2023.

Echea is a sounding vase, part of a suite of nine made for my solo exhibition ‘Unearthing’ at Gosport Museum and Gallery.

This is a multi -media show exploring the temporary nature of human existence through the archaeological traces left by ancient man.

The vases are hand-built from terracotta clay and smoked fired with horsehair and Solent seaweed.

In the Gosport show, the individual pots produce sounds that form representations of the different epochs of man’s development. They interplay and resonate with each other throughout the gallery space.
