Susan Disley

Susan's work is handbuilt using coiling, pinching and slabbing methods, either singly or in combination. Scratched and incised lines enliven the surface. Using a narrow palette of colour I repeatedly fire my work, building layer upon layer. She is concerned with the concept of function co-existing with a free discovery of form. Keeping the design process to a minimum allows for a deeper, gradual and personal understanding.
