Honor Freeman

Originating from South Australia Honor Freemans work with ceramic to turn mundane objects into things of delicate beauty. she celebrates the everyday. and in her own words "I seek to make visible the relationship between us and the objects we use, the gestures, mundane activities and humble objects, like small markers silently measuring the hours and marking the days. Thoughts of preserving, measuring and marking time’s passing occupy the work during the making. There is a correlation between actions and gestures used when engaging with objects and those used during the process of making that informs the work."
The objects she creates are a scene the the sponges create an imagined scene around them of a sink and a kitchen, A place somebody lives, somebody like you. In my own work I'm physically creating the scene that the audience could imagine someone living in. Does it remind them someone they know?
