The Virtual Archive: Kate Malone

In tandem with my print project, From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women's Art Library, I am inviting selected artists with documentation in the WAL archive to send me images of recent work to feature on this project blog.

Kate Malone's exuberant ceramics are inspired by natural forms and feature vibrant crystalline glazes. She works in the public arena -- creating large-scale public projects -- and makes ambitious one-of-a-kind pieces and playful intimate works from studios in London, Barcelona and Provence. Malone's London studio will be open to the public on 6th and 7th of December.

the Royal Jubilee Library, Brighton, 2004

Installation shot: A Celebration of Clay by Kate Malone, Canary Wharf, 2014

Malone writes about her work:

I aim to be at the same time both very serious and quite silly, simple and clever, adult and child. My aim is to broadcast a sense of optimism through my work, to touch the emotions, the pleasure buttons of the spirit and chase an instinctive use of positive symbolism.

I am motivated by a fascination with clay and with nature. Transforming soft wet clay to fired hard ceramic, then to a shiny glazed surface is addictive.

The Virtual Archive: Liliane Lijn

In tandem with my print project, From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women's Art Library, I am inviting selected artists with documentation in the WAL archive to send me images of recent work to feature on this project blog.

Lilian Lijn has worked across media -- kinetic sculpture, film, performance and collage -- to explore language, mythology and the relationship between light and matter. In 2013, she was short-listed to produce a sculpture for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square and her work featured in Republic of the Moon, curated by The Arts Catalyst, London. Lijn's work is now on view in the exhibition, Moon, at Art First in London, through 31st January 2015.

Lijn describes her work this way:

My practice is primarily concerned with light in its relation to matter. I like to think of matter as described by David Bohm, as 'frozen or condensed light'.

The play of sunlight across rippling waves of water and also over the gleaming body of a moving vehicle made me wonder about the relationship between different points in space. I invented a way of seeing form by following the oscillations of a line of light, thus, through movement, introducing the dimension of time into my work. Time is a convention which we use to situate ourselves with the endless transformations of the universe. My work endeavors to collapse our temporal constructs, allowing past, present and future to collide.

The Virtual Archive: Eileen Perrier

In tandem with my print project, From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women's Art Library, I am inviting selected artists with documentation in the WAL archive to send me images of recent work to feature on this project blog.

Photographer Eileen Perrier's commissioned project, Peckham Square Studio, is on view at Peckham Platform through 16 November 2014. It features portraits of local people she photographed using a large format camera, in a mobile studio on Peckham Square in South London. In conjunction with the exhibition, Perrier also has worked with Year 10 students from Harris Academy Peckham in photography workshops.

Perrier describes herself and her work:

Eileen Perrier was born in London and comes from a cultural background of Ghanaian and Dominican descent. This has presented her with questions around identity, diversity and placement. Through personal work and commissioned projects Perrier has photographed different members of her family living in London and Ghana. Projects have also included sitters she has encountered through various strategies, such as their occupation, location or a physical trait.
