PROFILE OF THE ARTISTS
Christine Dyer uses blue and white coloured ceramic vessels to symbolize old china, and crotchet. To these she adds lace work and glass beads to represent the forgotten ‘arts’ of yesteryear. "In this body of work I have used traditional elements of design, colour, and materials to draw notice to the often overlooked or unseen interior" said Christine.
