Jane McCulla Ceramics

Experiencing rural or remote landscapes and seascapes, I am fascinated by momentary glimpses, indexical traces, entropy processes and archaeological references, communicating man’s presence and time. The latter and the cycles, rhythms and routines of life lead me to manipulate clay, earth’s primary material, to relate a personal dialogue with my environment. I have travelled widely and have always lived close to the sea, so these ever changing vistas have been a constant inspiration for my ceramic work.

The Harbour Rim series of work is reflective of my current surroundings, especially around Lyttelton Harbour, South Island, NZ.
