Julian Stair is a potter and writer. He has exhibited internationally
over the last 24 years and has work in twenty public collections
including the Victoria & Albert Museum, British Council, American
Museum of Art & Design, Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Boymans
Museum, Netherlands.
The Series of work explores the relationship between form and colour
and the interface between movement and stasis. The exhibition includes
cups, teapots and jars in white porcelain, black basalt and the
shadowy tones of natural earth sited on handbuilt ´grounds´.
As a picture frame enhances the two dimensions of pictorial space,
the geometry of the ´grounds´enhance the volumes of
the thrown forms, the dynamic of object to object and the spaces
between.
