Meet the Artist

Marielle is a painter but her practice engages with a wide range of materials, organic and synthetic. Ceramics are an important part of her practice. She loves working with this humble earth material, to create artistic responses to the land we inhabit. She enjoys the tactility of clay, and create simple forms that bear the mark of their making, which are then glazed in a style inspired by her paintings. Her work is influenced by land and the natural world and through colour and form she hopes to evoke little sensations that can be experienced outside. Ceramics is a slow medium and through hand building, she takes the time to invest each piece with care. The forms she makes are designed for plants; containers, nests, homes, in which they can flourish.
