Throughout the central space there is also The Great Wall which can be seen in the above image showcasing some of the big industries involved within ceramic production ranging from Tableware to Brick.
In the far room work from EKWC is being shown it was in this room I found what I considered to be the strongest pieces of work it left me completely inspired. David Rickard's 'Testflights' the processes involved the scale and the unpredictability of the work was outstanding. The images below show what originally began as large balls of clay lifted from the ground using a crane and dropped from varying heights. It's fascinating to see the result of work that has been handed over and surrendered to the process involved. It's refreshing to see such work that has a raw energy and lack of preciousness which is often lacking in alot of ceramic work. As ceramicists can often be preoccupied with trying to control this material far too much.
