The Personal & the Universal: Personal memories, inherited artefacts and more generalised Welsh culture are the motifs that frequently inform and surface in Lowri Davies's fresh and contemporary bone china forms. In this six-page feature, Philip Hughes applauds this young artist who has caused quite a stir across Wales and the wider UK.
The Wild and the Natural: Using salvaged blue and white ware as his starting point Paul Scott manipulates it by adding and erasing imagery to give it his own political charge. In this six-page feature, Andy Christian unravels the artist's complex commentary, which reveals the bleak realities of Scott's home county in the north of England.
