Description

Keith Rice-Jones, Burnaby, Pillow Platter, Oxided and glazed Stoneware, double skin slab built. 13.5” x 13.5” x 5.25”.

I have always been a maker. My work reflects early design training in England as a woodworker and combines both ideas about architecture, ritual from a variety of cultures and a strong influence from the modernist tradition. Though I still retain a connection with making smaller vessels, my abstract sculptures are my main focus. Ranging from my play with solid geometry through organic pieces that begin as carved maquettes to post firing assembled elements that allow me to transcend the size limitations of the kiln, they reference large bones and Totems, Inukshuks or Cycladic figures.

This work will close with Section C at 7:55pm.
