Background
Tessa Eastman is a British ceramic artist who has nineteen years of experience of working with clay.
Tessa has produced a fresh body of work that grew out of her MA at the Royal College of Art in 2015. These original pieces show her ongoing commitment to the challenge of hand building in clay, using various techniques to create complex ceramic sculptures. She observes the often overlooked detail of natural microscopic structures as a starting point to developing works which possess a curious ambiguity. Undulating cloud-like forms are juxtaposed with harsh rock and mesh structures, revealing internal, expanding space. When grouped, pieces have a distinctive dialogue which generates an atmosphere of harmony and tension.
