Artist
Katie Moore
Katie Moore is a London-based ceramic artist whose practice is rooted in hand-building and painting. She discovered her preferred way of making while working remotely in a makeshift studio, where the freedom of coiling by hand allowed space for reflection and experimentation.
Her work draws on a background in illustration and an ongoing interest in stage sets and landscapes, with each piece conceived as both vessel and prop. Sketches - made by hand and digitally - form the basis for her painted surfaces, which she develops through layers of underglaze and slip in a process she describes as ‘an ongoing experiment’.
"Back in the studio, I’ve been revisiting my windswept Shetland trip through photos and sketchy paintings - picking out favourite viewpoints of houses in the landscape and experimenting with how to bring those colours to life on clay. Trips like this are endless inspiration; even months later, I’m still revisiting and reworking the ideas." - Katie Moore
