Lotte Glob
My creative process involves a close continuing and intense
relationship with the landscape and wilderness of the Scottish Highlands,
a part of which is long hikes into the mountains bringing back materials
such as rocks and sediments. By working directly with these materials in
a raw and unrefined state, combined with different clays, I create sculptural
forms which are direct responses to the materials' physical nature. The sculptures
are then fired to 1300 oC - white heat, undergoing physical alterations similar
to the landscape's volcanic origins. It is essential to me that the firing
creates the conditions for the materials to become active again, reliving
the metamorphoses. High risks are often taken during this process of melting
rocks, glass, clay and sediment. Despite my knowledge, developed through
numerous experiments, the excitement of this process drives me on to take
calculated risks as I push these materials to an extreme where they will
be irrevocably transformed. Finished ceramics include large dishes, bowls,
tiles, wall panels, fountains, book works and sculptures. Studio work has
led to installations and photo works in the landscape."
