Curvilinear

About

Before taking up photography full time, Tracy worked for an international book publisher. Her interest in photography began many years ago, when her husband bought her a darkroom kit for Christmas. She has travelled widely, and takes her camera with her wherever she goes, hoping to capture the essence of the places she visits. She is drawn to interior and external architecture, in which she attempts to capture patterns and shapes that others might miss.

Sally works in stoneware to hand-build her pots, creating small, medium and large pieces, both functional and sculptural. Her work is frost-resistant and is therefore suitable for use both indoors and outside. Each piece is unique. At her home in Naunton Sally constantly experiments with different shapes, new glazes and glaze combinations, taking inspiration from traditional classic forms as well as from the lines, tones and textures of nature as she pursued her fascination with clay and its many possibilities.

Tracy and Sally have shown their work individually for some years at art fairs and galleries. They began showing their work together in 2018 under the title Curvilinear. Following the great success of this first collaboration they have exhibited together regularly in London, the home counties and Oxfordshire.

Sally's ceramics and Tracy's photographs complement each other perfectly, with Sally's glazes and Tracy's images of reflections in glass and water often echoing each other in form and colour.
