+ Biography
 |
Louise joined Gaolyard Studios in March 2001, having graduated the previous summer from the Studio Ceramics course at Falmouth College of Art. Louise grew up in Cornwall but has also lived in North Devon, London and Bristol and has previously worked within commercial photography and cabinet making.
“I have always been fascinated by the way that he colours within the landscape can be framed within natural or man-made windows. I often capture these images using photography and painting and in my ceramic work I love to explore these abstract qualities of landscape within a 3D context. I am particularly interested in the spatial and recessive qualities that can be achieved when two or more colours are placed next to each other.
”This interest, combined with Louise’s great appreciation of the work of traditional potters such as E. B. Fishley and Michael Cardew has evolved into her current work, which sees windows of colour as decoration on functional forms including large bowls, jugs and lidded jars.
