Sole Exhibition - Inclusion Collection
Hereford Cathedral
(23rd Sept to 4th Oct 24)
A sole exhibition depicting a body of work, titled Inclusion was created specifically for the cathedral. The epigraph of the collection is from the passage:
"But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand." (Isaiah 64:8).
Each porcelain vessel from the collection was different in form and character to represent our uniqueness. The handcrafted glazes include the Hereford Cathedral red sandstone to represent the Lord’s House, combined with 24-carat gold rims to signify the divine presence of God.
