Gemma graduated from UWIC in 2006 having gained a BA hons in ceramics. Her delicate sculptural pieces reflect her fascination with the qualities of the clay - the tensions, movement and intimacy of the material. These are intricately linked with her own personal reflections and reminiscences.
The work on display at Craft in the Bay explores the individual clay bodies of terracotta and porcelain - two contrasting elements confined by the parameters of the rectangular form.

Sylvia will be exhibiting part of her 'Fading Floral Memories' in our cafe showcase this summer. Her floral cascade depicts fading memories - dark, melancholy, distorted and mutated with time. Begining with ceramics, depicting more permanent memories at the top of the cascade, the flowers gradually change into other materials, but unable to differntiate, just like memories - sometimes unable to clearly recall them, they mutate and fade as paper petals to the floor.
For this exhibition at Craft in the Bay Sylvia has dismantled parts of the cascade, which consists of digitally printed silk habotai and screen printed organza which she has manipulated, stitched and embellished with wire, beads and ceramics.
