BIOGRAPHY

C L Davies is a multidisciplinary artist, designer and maker working with various materials and processes. People, nature and the human form have constantly fascinated and influenced C L Davies’s work and life.  

 

'I make my pieces using the coiling technique, working intuitively to create simple organic forms.  I am drawn to grogged clays as their texture and ability to hold their form allows me to create larger pieces.  I have always been fascinated by nature, collections of objects, and the human form, body as a whole, thoughts and soul in addition to the flesh. The concept of reminiscence is a component in my work, capturing a moment or emotion felt. I use poetry to deliver social and emotional problems in addition to the use of colour or absence of colour to create a sense of feeling’.
