Lucy Be Ceramics

Lucy Be Phillips | Northern Rivers, NSW

Wheel-made and are altered with the addition of slab constructed details, Lucy’s approach presents an opportunity to manipulate the thrown elements. Fired in a reduced atmosphere with additions of stone and iron for varied surfaces, materials such as kanthal wire and turned wooden handles, present a duality of traditional and contemporary. Her pieces reflect the beauty and awkward imperfections of being human. Relying on form and colour to create a sense of whimsical nostalgia, her work has a timelessness that reflects the enriching role of ceramics in our lives.
