AMPHITRITE for Metamorphoses
Bold Innovative Sculpture and Wearable Art
made with a passion for materials and the natural world, to adorn both body and space
Alison Shelton Brown
Making with meaning is fundamental to me. As a multi-disciplinary artist, experimenting with mixed-media causes my butterfly brain to flutter with thoughts of ceramics, metal or textile. I love the malleability of clay, torn edges and tactile surfaces, patina and rust. Bold statement jewellery with an environmental message. Subtle sculptural objects inviting closer inspection. Inspiration is found searching for the unexpected on local woodland walks in Devon or recycling discarded detritus down at the beach. I make contemporary sculpture to adorn and ornament the body or a space. Divining the essence of a form, a simple joy unfolds.

Potfest South West
Another first for me at Potfest SW near Shaftesbury, I will probably be less 'potty' and more sculpture and it will be lovely to return to a familiar area of Dorset this summer.
