Wisely choosing ceramic as a canvas, Lincolnshire-based Kate Boulton celebrates the local countryside with striking swoops and puddles of glaze. Delightfully abstracted, the lush rolling hills, the muddy Humber, and the idyllic coastline take shape under striking, colourful effects.
With mountain peaks, a rippling sea, angular bridge, and glistening sunlight scratched into the surface, multiple dimensions recreate the serenity, intrigue, and wonder of areas both wild and tamed.
Allowing the unusual visual of the coloured glaze to do its magic, the imperfect finish of each of Boulton’s ceramic artworks adds a layer of rawness to reflect the landscapes being honoured.
