Sue Mundy • March 3 - 28
Sue Mundy is a contemporary British ceramic artist specialising in hand-
built sculptural forms. A constant theme in Sues work is the natural world. Her current work explores the shapes and surface textures found from trees and bones. A key shift in this work reflects her focus on the purely aesthetic over the functional.
Sue has had a long association with clay, starting at school and then North Staffordshire University. She always knew that clay was her medium. Through clay she expresses her emotions and reactions to the world around her. Working with clay has given Sue a way to communication through form - a secondary voice.
Sue says: “My hurt, my joy, my scars, my healing, all shape the work I create in clay. Using hand-building techniques, I build bottle-like forms which are repeatedly scraped to reveal organic openings. Deliberate junctions are created by breaking and re-joining the outstretched necks where collars or shoulders evolve.”
