Artists > Terry, Beard Stephen Murfitt
Connections
This exhibition brings together ceramics by Stephen Murfitt
along with mixed media work by Terry Beard. Both artists live
and work from the Huntingdonshire Fens, which informs and
inspires much of their work.
Stephen’s pieces are hand-built and Raku fired, with an
emphasis on form. ‘My work is driven by an obsession with clay
and its’ versatility. I became addicted to Raku because of the
direct involvement with each stage of the process. I make
ceramic forms and vessels, and the combination of the making,
glazing and firing results in unique pieces.’
Terry works with a range of materials and processes to make
work which is evocative of landscape but retains an element of
abstraction. ‘I am inspired by elements in the environment, and
this informs the development of my work. I explore ways of
conveying a sense of place using abstract marks and areas of
colour. I use a range of media including screen printing, collage
and acrylics.’
