The rough clay sheets that bind and fold through the body of Drools Gold are reminiscent of tectonic workings, exemplifying Mason’s interference with traditional conventions of ceramics. Formulated from a mix of materials – including stoneware, porcelain and ironstone – the elements of Drools Gold are drawn together and, when they merge or collide, new relationships, qualities and layers are formed. For Mason, he views the ceramic experience as a powerful and meaningful engagement with the creative and life-giving forces in the world.
