Loraine Rutt
Clay provides a tangible connection to the earth’s surface. Loraine’s background as a map maker informs her practice, which draws on a tradition of narrative ceramics. Decorated with cartographically accurate drawings, her domestic-scale vessels and relief maps explore how maps shape our sense of place and belonging. Playing with scale and volume – whether a pocket globe that places the world in the palm of the hand, or topography with amplified relief, her work functions as a means of sharing stories of place.
Her work is in private collections worldwide, has been purchased by an Apollo Astronaut, The London Museum, The Maritime Museum and The Royal Geographical Society.
Loraine Rutt is a Selected Member of the Craft Potters Association.
