HONOR FREEMAN
In Search Of Ordinary
Honor Freeman’s practice reveals a careful observation of the domestic realm and the ordinariness of the everyday. The work conveys ideas of material transformation. The transmutation of common, unremarkable domestic objects into sculptures that belie their materiality and purpose – an ordinary alchemy.
Working primarily in porcelain Freeman harnesses the mimetic qualities inherent in clay through the magic of slip casting. The works playfully interact with ideas of liquid-made solids. The porcelain casts echo the original objects; the liquid slip turns solid and becomes a memory of a past from a ghost object.
