2019 Jack Warren

AiR January - June 2019

Exhibition: Fragment - June 2019

Warren presented a selection of ceramic works created through his four-month residency at Durham Sixth Form Centre which explored the temporal qualities of clay. Ceramics are traditionally viewed as a durable and permanent force which will last forever and are commonly associated with ancient and art history. However, Warren challenges the temporal and fragile nature of this medium by tearing, restructuring, adding stitches and pushing its material qualities to the limit.

Warren was an excellent practitioner and brought new skills to the department. He mentored students, ran after school ceramics sessions and worked closely with Gold Arts Award students. He contributed greatly to the experience of our Foundation cohort and shared his portfolio with them through artist talks and portfolio sessions.
