NEW FOCUS
We are excited to announce that the incredible ceramics of Paula Downing will take centre stage in our New Focus exhibition, running from 10th July to 27th September. This collection offers a powerful journey through Cornwall’s rich landscapes and ancient stories.
Paula says “My work has evolved over time, always rooted in Cornwall’s land, sea, ancient history, geology, and mining industry. I create in series, each piece stemming from a single idea, unique in identity and presence. Whether standing alone or in groupings, my ceramics make a bold statement.”
Her recent pieces challenge the idea of balance, pushing slab-built forms to the limits of stability. She has simplified forms and surfaces, favouring a minimal colour palette to emphasise the strength and power of each piece.
We hope you’ll visit the gallery to see her work firsthand, a striking fusion of history, nature, and form.
She will be joined by Graham Black, whose evocative screen prints will also feature as part of the Focus exhibition.
