Ruth Stanton

This body of work explores themes of communication, personal relationships and exchange between self and other. In Stanton's work these themes are deeply connected to the act of making.

 

These intimately handmade objects are tactile memories of their own making and at times personifications. Hands are used as sculptural tools, holding the clay while acting as its mould. Once fired the works are sanded until they feel like they want to be held -as comfort objects this is their functionality.
