Julie Nelson, ‘Spine Vessel’.

Stoneware and porcelain.

Experiments in form, surface texture, pattern and composition. Every piece is a meditation on the variety found in the natural world, and the artist's relationship with the materiality of clay, creating a series of unique hand built explorations that evolve whilst making. 

Julie Nelson is a British ceramicist who uses the materiality of clay as a means to explore the natural world. Her work focuses on the elemental and she crafts in a series, often exhibiting objects in groups that both contrast and interrelate. Her collections, based on biology, botany and landscape, express the visual regularities found across nature, exploring pattern and entropy, whilst highlighting the connectedness of everything.
