Knap – An exhibition of ceramic sculptures and drawings
10th August 2024 – 31st August 2024
A solo exhibition by Grace Adam of ceramic sculptures and large-scale drawings based on flints.
Ancient, durable and beautiful, humans have shaped and used flint for over 3 million years – knapped into tools, axes and engraving implements.
Moving between naturalistic and abstract, the artist explores the synergies between the facets that appear during the knapping process and the compositions of cubist paintings.
Glazed and fired clay in blacks, whites, greys with traces of the delicate pinks and blues these ceramic sculptures reflect the colours that are revealed when the stones are cracked open.
East Anglia is famous for its flint, and large-scale charcoal drawings and watercolours explore some of its architecture and tools.
