CONGRATULATIONS to Rebecca Matthews
@rmatt.art who has been selected as the recipient of this year's Potclays graduate award at Loughborough University
@lboroca @lborofinearts.
Rebecca explores themes of change and anxiety in her work, taking inspiration from conceptual theorists like Deleuze and Sartre. She is interested in Deleuze’s ideas about ‘selfhood,’ which are influenced by Sartre’s view of consciousness and how our thoughts, especially difficult ones, are always connected. She uses fragile, suspended forms to reflect the ongoing anxiety and uncertainty that characterise everyday life, working with a combination of clays and processes including slip casting and press moulding.
