Statement

Richard Slee's career as a studio ceramist now spans over thirty years. His ceramics are intrinsically about the domestic interior. There are references in his work to the decorative, the ornamental and the symbolic both from the past and in our contemporary culture. Although these sources are eclectic they are skilfully brought together and inevitably translated through the medium of ceramics. His interest in the material qualities of ceramic are exploited through form, colour and print. A craftsman aware of the history of making, these unique pieces produced are detached from a conscious elaborate craftmanship and deny their complexity of making.
