15 Days of Clay

ArtWorks Together 2021 - 2nd Place Award Winner

15 Days of Clay is a group of artists bonded by kinship, with a sense of creativity at its heart. Our purpose has always been to champion ability over any perceived disability. There is beauty in difference if you remove judgment. Our clay community has created its own collective purpose, generated genuine friendships and has nurtured an environment that has empowered countless individuals.

This piece of work, called The Gathering, began with the starting point 'What Does 15 Days In Clay Mean to You?' Recurring themes emerged in the responses, these being: collective strength, unity, creativity and biscuits! Somehow we needed to visually convey this message. The work needed to create a sense of presence, stature and an interaction. There needed to be uniformity with the overall form, but also individuality expressed through the choices of each artist.
