.... „Today it is hard to imagine the European ceramics scene
without her. She is famous for her spontaneous, passionate use of
clay and colours. Her almost provokingly simple use of form and
her strong, energetic brush decorations feed from direct emotion,
from confidence in her own intuition and from a portion of childlike
anarchy she preserved for herself. Sandy Brown’s catalytic,
liberating influence on European ceramics in the seventies and above
all eighties must not be underestimated. At a time when European
ceramics threatened to get stuck between Asiatic ideals and local
traditions, her impetuous, lustful approach to the material demonstrated
exciting new possibilities.“
