Meet the Maker, Matthew Chambers
C elebrating the very best in the Modern and Contemporary British Art scene Sotheby’s Made In Britain/Online auction looks at the work of some of the most exciting and engaging makers working today. We caught up with leading British ceramicist Matthew Chambers, whose work features in the sale, to look at his influences, practises and position within the art scene of the past fifty years.
Our Made In Britain/Onlineauction looks at how ceramicists, artists and potters in Britain over the course of the past century use the medium of clay. How do you feel that clay lends itself to artists and potters as opposed to say paint or bronze?
“Clay to me seems so much more immediate than bronze, so I guess that’s the big draw. Its versatility in material nature to be manipulated by hand into almost any shape is another for me and I guess all who choose it. Of course it can be considered just the model for what can be made in bronze, but for certain forms casting is impossible and this combined with its ‘hands on’ nature gives the clay its own unique voice, not to be replicated. Ceramic artists also think naturally in three dimensions hence why we choose clay over painting, but the pot can also be used as a canvas for many. Marks made on the surf

“I make sculpture that is born from the potters wheel. Many sections are thrown and built to create a constructed beauty, rhythm, and symmetry in abstract form. I am interested in the travel and progression of layered three dimensional pattern, and how this can create different qualities depending on the workings of three essential factors:
– The construction: Simplicity to complexity. Circular or fragmented.
– The rhythm pattern: Different rhythms produced through the construction and the placement of parts.
– The viewing position and depth in form: Horizontal, vertical or angular. Inside space or enclosed rhythm.
It is a true love of the making process that drives the creation of my sculpture. Through practice and persistence I have developed a unique way of making, and it is this alongside the versatility of clay that is essential in creating the individual character of the work” Matthew Chambers
