ADAM BUICK - GROUNDING

This film is to stand alongside a ceramics exhibition that explores our experience of the temporal
In this major solo exhibition Adam Buick has created new works that engage with the places he inhabits, forming a subtle narrative derived from the land and sea. Parochial in their creation yet universal in their meaning the works delve into the forces that shape our environment and influence our lives on this planet. They engage with the past, capture the present and enquire into the future. These works are object, record and discourse of Buick’s unique way of looking and grounding himself in a place. In some of his pieces Buick allows the weather to sculpt his work, capturing the power of nature and the transience of human endeavour. In others he engages us in the felt experience of moving through a landscape, often adding gathered materials with greater histories or significance than the piece itself. The result is a body of work that leaves you contemplating our place in deep time and our connection with the substance of the earth.
Adam Buick is a ceramic artist from Pembrokeshire in West Wales. He has an international reputation with works in public collections including the V&A in London
The Exhibition 'Grounding' is currently on show at Ruthin Craft Centre, Denbighshire from the 30th September 2023 - 7th January 2024

Incredible Adam, porcelain is so hard to throw large and I commend you 😊 Slate I think has clay in it? So does it combine with the porcelain in the firing? I only have flint here in the south of England which I think it is to hard to combine with the clay? Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Slate does amazing things when fired. Flint could be interesting, it would be worth a try.
