Janet Lines (@janet_lines-ceramics):
Thinking through making, materialising thought.
My practice and the objects I make grow from a gathering of many things.
Language is important to me. I use metaphors to express ideas; sticks, sacks, bundles familiar objects in abstract form take on new meanings. My sculptures explore the internal and external both physically and metaphorically, they are reminiscent of entrances to passageways, mouths or cavernous interiors. They articulate the fragile state of displacement and dis-belonging, of being confronted by the unknown.
I have learnt to be more open to process. Making has become an act of faith; it begins with intention and material and always an excitement of creating something unknown to me. Working with the form as it grows into itself, I weigh up its mass, contours, balancing its form from all perspectives to retain its vigour. One piece begets another in a slow metamorphosis.
I use simple coiling and pinching techniques, leaving marks of making evident. Terra sigillata, dry glazes rubbed into the surface or smoke firings accentuate the beauty of making.
Making has become a means of exploration, a way of posing questions, a search for clarity. It operates on a very personal level helping me to gain insight into who I am but also in the context of learning about the world and my place in it.
