A FEAST OF COLOUR by Henrietta Norris

Henrietta Norris, whose recent exhibition in the Salamanca Arts Centre has just ended, has provided me with some delicious images to share with you.  I remember watching her take some of the test rings for these glazes from the kilns at ANU when we pretty much danced with excitement.  These pots sing out loud with colour and texture and form. What a gorgeous gallery.  I will stop blithering and just show you!  Tell me what you think please.  It is awfully lonely being a blogger nobody comments to.  

The blurb said ....'An exhibition by Henrietta Norris featuring abstracted glazed and imprinted ceramic sculptures in which the Tasmanian East Coast meets the imprints of human culture. Henrietta is a ceramic artist exploring the intersection between man and nature in organically shaped and imprinted clay sculptures, complemented by flora inspired glazes. Her approach is phenomenological; exploring emotional and perceptual experience through the enduring media of fired clay.'
