Nicholas Kripal's

Nicholas Kripal:- Kripal's work involves religious sculpture installations. These are mainly site-related. Kripal investigates and researches into the site, and does plenty of research and development before he settles with a sculpture piece. The research he does, can be used in other projects.

Title: Nature in Clay

Family is the inspiration for this piece, depicted through the use of five place settings. Utilising leaves, and stems from my garden and dipped in paper porcelain. I explore and encourage randomness, the unexpected and unpredictable effects when the firing these objects bring. These cast fascinating shadows.

Particular emphasis is on the serving spoon which evokes the strong family memories of my Mum.

The fragility of the forms hides the strength of these pieces. In the exhibition, I am planning on hanging these place settings, as if a table were set, but no table. I also hope to have light from the window as the natural light will cast shadows from the pieces, which will add to my piece.

Maeve's work

“Objects hang before the eyes of the imagination, continuously re-presenting ourselves to ourselves, and telling the stories of our lives in ways which would be impossible otherwise.” - Moira Vincentelli Objects we surround ourselves with, expose our narratives, and quietly plot our personalities. We leave behind physical memories of our life, such objects that stir up forgotten nostalgic memories of yesteryear. My main work investigates fragility and revolves around nature – growth, energy, movement, light and shadows that the pieces cast. I’m interested in how both objects large and small can create experiences that are different, attractive and intimate. I am also exploring bygone days from my house and in this regard my current work focuses on a spoon which holds special memories of my Mum in which I have casted a mould from it. I primarily utilize different varieties of paper clay and mould of the spoon for its translucency and ability to retain fine details.
