Alex McCarthy

Alex McCarthy makes beautiful tactile artefacts inspired by textures that surround us such as: tree bark, natural rocks, cracking paint and even marine life.  Metal oxides add depth whilst the gold, platinum and copper lustre adds a sense of opulence. Each piece is kiln fired in three stages, including bisque, stonewall and a lustre firing in platinum, gold or copper. "No two pieces are ever the same; this is intentional, as I feel each piece has its own story to tell."
