Shirley Vauvelle
Shirley Vauvelle is an established artist working from her studio in North Yorkshire. Nature fascinates her, the power and vulnerability of it. Her forms are hand built using stoneware clay slabs and carving the surface. Often using plant material within the surface of the clay, working from an emotional reaction to how nature makes her feel. There are stackable components, giving the opportunity within the forms, to play and alter. Influenced initially by ancient talisman finds, in particular inuit carvings.
