Heritage is the context for all that happens. [Solo Exhibition]

Morris, Kevin Andrew

Abstract

Working within heritage-based projects has been central to Kevin Morris' work and practice. Prior to this exhibition, the artist had recently been engaging with concepts of craft, material and place - initially motivated by an investigation of his own family's heritage and material culture. The artist suggests that the use of wood to fire clay is a continuation of technology and tradition from ancient history into contemporary practice. "Heritage Is The Context For All That Happens" featured a selection of work achieved during the artist's first year in post as Technical Service Officer in Ceramics at Gray's School of Art, RGU, as well as during his participation at the Young Wood-Firing Artist In Residence Symposium (held at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Centre, Denmark).
