Elaine Riordan

 

Elaine’s journey in ceramics has been an exploration of techniques and materials: from hand built porcelain paper clay sculptures to wheel thrown functional ware.  The inspiration for this work has primarily been architecture, capturing cities in space and time.

Baineann taithí criadóireachta Elaine leis na hábhair agus leis na modhanna oibre is féidir a úsáid. I measc na nithe sin, tá dealbha cré a rinne sí le páipéar poircealláin láimhdhéanta, agus earraí tí a mhúnlaigh sí ar an roth. Is í an ailtireacht a spreag í chun oibre: samhailteacha de chathrachaí na linne faoi chló go brách.

Siwrnai Elaine mewn cerameg fu archwiliad o dechnegau a defnyddiau: o gerfluniau porslen clai papur wedi’u gwneud â llaw i lestri ymarferol wedi’u taflu ar y droell. Pensaernïaeth fu’r brif ysbrydoliaeth i’r gwaith yma, gan ddal dinasoedd mewn gofod ac amser.
