Carolyn Genders is an internationally respected ceramic artist acknowledged for her asymmetric sculptural vessels and forms and her unique use of colour and surface. Her work celebrates the conversation between the form and surface of the individual pieces: an expression of movement and energy embodied in the form of the thin-walled vessels and the use of colour and gestural spontaneity that creates a complete balance. The works are an expression of emotion occupying a space, not just a ‘feeling’ or ‘memory’. "Clay is my material but painting, printing, life drawing, gardening underpin the ceramic pieces. They inform my choice of colour, mark and form, they are exploratory shorthand and my play and a constant reminder that my ceramic practice, even when working for a show, needs always to contain these elements especially the playful aspect."
