British artist Gareth Mason has worked with clay for over 35 years to develop a distinctive practice that challenges conventional approaches to porcelain and ceramic art. The forms sculpted in the work Tilting resemble the contours of natural landscapes while also evoking anthropomorphic shapes. The piece celebrates the abundant quality of clay, as well as its ability to conjure emotion through its texture and materiality.

Gareth Mason
Gareth Mason is a British artist who, over his four-decade career, has consistently resisted the temptations of ceramic art’s conventions – particularly those surrounding the perceived purity of porcelain. Entangling irreverence and material risk with respect for ceramics history, Mason’s pots carry tensions and incompatibilities that defy straightforward resolution.
