Lara Scobie
Lara Scobie’s ceramics are intuitive. Starting with an instinctive process of mark making, her work is receptive to the moment hand-touches-clay. The ceramics relay the spontaneous process of hand-to-paper drawing; responding to how the materials react with the marks, her work grows around what emerges. Fascinated with the relationship between form and surface, she allows them both to inform each other as the piece develops. Encouraged by botanical forms, Scobie’s work has an organic quality, the lines refusing an exact uniformity, allowing the pieces to wrap themselves around the viewer.
