About

Ceri grew up in the West Country and despite stints abroad and in London has always been drawn back to this area, the places that are familier and to what feels like home.  At the core of her practice is the search for belonging in landscape. Her work translates a sense of place and the recording of a location.  She uses photography and sketchbooks as research to capture the wildness, unrelenting weather and seasonal changes in places that provoke her emotions.

'I'm always trying to see the contrast between things,' says Ceri. 'That could be a line in the sand made by the prevailing wind, the horizon line, or a river cutting through the rocks.  The dividing lines or edges of natural forms and phenomena interest me aesthetically, but also for the unpredictability they bring, the possibilities they suggest, and the awareness they create of how small and insignificant we are in the context of the land we live in.'

Ceri worked as a studio assistant to Sasha Wardell and was awarded an apprenticeship through the Adopt a Potter scheme.  More recently she has studied Contemporary Art Practice at Bath Spa University. She was one of the finalists for the prestigious Porthleven Prize in 2020 and has held solo and joint exhibitions within the university and independently. Ceri has developed her own expressive style, and shows clear understanding of the limitations of working with Fine Bone China and continues to test the boundaries of this in her explorations.
