Carolyn Genders is an internationally respected ceramic artist acknowledged for her unique use of colour and surface - embodied by sculptural vessels and forms.
The essence of her practice is the relationship of form and colour, the finished pieces uniting the physicality of working with the clay and her instinctive and often spontaneous use of colour built over many years.
The works are an energetic transformation of flat surface into physical entities - emotion occupying a space, not just a 'feeling or memory'.
Genders' inspiration is internal, a conscious analytical series of responses to an ever-expanding matrix of understanding.
