Sarah Cave Ceramics

Elements from the natural world are
hinted at in my work, though it has
derived from a mix of influences
collected, combined and re-formed in
my imagination.

Unlikely marine flora and fauna, as
well as “finds” deposited by the tides
on Queensland and British beaches,
collected over many years, merge with
Antoni Gaudi’s distillations of natural
forms, which was the highlight of my
visit to Barcelona. These images are
further “deranged” by a life-long
fascination with the unearthly flora
and fauna of Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.

  I have attempted to synthesise some
  of the variety, colour and limitless
  possibilities of these influences to
  create my own “unearthly” works of
  fantasy with, I hope, a flavour of
  mystery and perhaps even occasional
  unease.

This is the focus and purpose of my current work and what you will mainly see on this website.
