About
Steven Edwards is a Ceramic Artist based in London. His work explores the materiality and physicality of clay through the language of making and the interplay between form and surface. Fascinated by process-led making, he adapts traditional techniques to provoke unanticipated outcomes, using clay as a medium that sustains the narrative of the making process.
Edwards creative practice purposely places clay under stress to reveal the natural tension and movement in its surface and form. Throughout the making process he pushes, pulls, compresses and slices the material to provoke a reaction. The final forms are a combination of these making scenarios, translating a theme of duality in their appearance – the contrast of visual distortion and precision, the stillness and movement in form and the surface deception between synthetic and natural.
His work has been exhibited widely, supported by gallery representation, and is included in permanent collections.
