Artist Statement for Trevor Beaumont
|
|
|
I work in Jamaica, the Caribbean island of wood and water. I use stoneware clay from Florida, all fired at cone 9 (1285 deg. C). Most of my work is wheel thrown functional ware with an artistic flare. I build all my own equipment like kilns and wheels from local materials, real pioneer style.
Glaze materials sourced locally include feldspar, whiting, granite, silica, wood ash, bone ash and other minerals like black beach sand. These reflect the natural earth colours, as seen in my work. I also like to carve the clay or scrape the glaze off to create contrasting highlights.
My main influences have been Phil Rogers and Shoji Hamada.I call myself the Spiritual Potter as this reflects not only my work but my new path to enlightenment.
More details of each work are available on request.
