Rob
Froese makes clay objects of visual and tactile interest, for use and
contemplation, using a variety of clays and kiln firing methods.
A focus of his utilitarian work has been to explore light and dark
contrasting layers in clay body, slip, and glaze, working with an
immediacy and responding to the flow of actions and decisions that take
place during the many stages of production. His process of making
sculptural objects shares that aspect of ‘chance meeting choice.’
In this exhibition clay objects are presented that evoke nature, time
and contemplation; carrying the feeling of a found object from the
natural environment.
