CORISANDE ALBERT<br />
Pottery for me is about family <strong>and</strong> bringing us closer together. Homemade<br />
soup in a stoneware bowl, a spray of roses atop a porcelain bud vase, I want<br />
my pots to be h<strong>and</strong>led <strong>and</strong> used in the daily rituals that provide moments of<br />
joy in a hectic lifestyle.<br />
My pottery journey started in 2011. Having trained <strong>and</strong> worked as a lawyer<br />
<strong>and</strong> documentary film maker, a loss in our family left me seeking a new path.<br />
I had not touched clay since a child in the pottery studio of a wonderful<br />
Polish potter, Adash Dworski, in Clyro. I remember preparing balls of<br />
terracotta clay for him to throw on the wheel to make his signature mugs.<br />
Forty years on, it felt like coming home.<br />
I work in stoneware <strong>and</strong> porcelain <strong>and</strong> strive to design pots that combine<br />
beauty <strong>and</strong> functionality. I’m not sure I will ever find the perfect shape for a<br />
mug of builder’s tea, or porcelain teacup for Earl Grey, but doubt I will ever<br />
tire of searching.<br />
My decoration is mainly through the interaction of glazes. I love how a dark<br />
iron oxide glaze reacts with a glossy transparent or pale celadon to create<br />
serendipitous drips, marks <strong>and</strong> layers of colour.<br />
I am lucky enough to pot at the bottom of a walled kitchen garden on a<br />
regenerative farm near Hay-on-Wye <strong>and</strong> my colour palette is influenced by<br />
the muted, earthy colours of the plants, hedgerows <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape around<br />
me. My aim is for my work to enhance what it holds. The magical moment<br />
when I unload a kiln is often followed by a quick forage through the garden<br />
to test out new pots with flowers <strong>and</strong> herbs.

I was born <strong>and</strong> brought up in North Cornwall <strong>and</strong> spent my formative years by the sea, in it<br />
<strong>and</strong> on it, this early experience recurs in my work/paintings. I moved to the Welsh Borders<br />
with my partner in 2006, since when the countryside around me has gradually made its way<br />
onto the canvases.<br />
I work in series. I will have an idea <strong>and</strong> make a painting about it which leads to another<br />
<strong>and</strong> another until the idea is finished. Some series never finish, my tidal paintings for example<br />
still go on, every now <strong>and</strong> then I’ll have another thought, generally to do with colour,<br />
<strong>and</strong> make more paintings with the same idea behind them. Layers of paint on canvas or<br />
paper represent through colour <strong>and</strong> texture the essence of places remembered. Working<br />
mainly from memory enables me to manipulate the original place, to express my experience<br />
of it, to exaggerate <strong>and</strong> improvise. Making a painting is a process of ‘push me pull<br />
you’. I make a mark with the paint, the paint reacts, I respond to it <strong>and</strong> so we go on together<br />
until some sort of conclusion is reached, this may take many months <strong>and</strong> many layers. I<br />
will have an idea when I begin but this may change as the work progresses or even turn into<br />
something else entirely.<br />
I use my memory as my sketch book but for this show at The Table Gallery, I made some<br />
small works on paper taken directly from walking in the early morning, they were made<br />
quickly from what I had seen that day. I have used these small paintings to work up into<br />
larger works. This has enabled me to keep focused on an idea so as to produce paintings<br />
planned for a curated show.<br />
The working process for making these bigger paintings is by putting down layers of colour,<br />
one over another, which slowly build up to make the finished image. I work with the canvas<br />
flat on the floor or table <strong>and</strong> pour the paint, tip <strong>and</strong> move the canvas to produce the lines I<br />
want. I only use a brush to apply a layer of paint rather than make any sort of brush stroke.<br />
I find the less I interfere with the paint the better, the marks it produces are more interesting<br />
<strong>and</strong> delicate than anything I could do. This also applies to the watercolour series I am<br />
showing alongside the bigger paintings, they are even more delicate <strong>and</strong> fine <strong>and</strong> have a<br />
mind of their own, a clue to which is in their title, ‘Capillary Attraction’.<br />
The artist Barnett Newman wrote:<br />
“To create a work of art means, to me, to express something that is deep in one. It is an attempt to<br />
put down what you really believe <strong>and</strong> what you really are concerned with.”
