Catherine Dix
Catherine Dix builds hybrid objects, playing with balance, fullness and emptiness, light and shadow.
The slab built technique technique and the choice of stoneware with rough relief give her ceramics an architectural and archaic appearance.
Her anthropomorphic bottles and sculptures, often perched high, and columns evoking the remains of skyscrapers or pedestals, are fired at high temperatures, glazed and sometimes decorated with engobes in large, colorful brushstrokes, referring to abstract expressionism and the free, nervous decorations of certain Japanese ceramics.
Catherine Dix works intuitively, choosing to confront the various shaped elements and see what happens, with the preoccupation of finding the perfect balance between form and surrounding space.
