Annabel Munn
-
Annabel Munn is a British artist, whose work naturally moves between art and craft. She graduated from the University of the West of England, Bristol in 1990, studying under Walter Keeler, Mo Jupp and Nicholas Homoky. During this period, Annabel specialised in large hand-built and coiled sculptural ceramics. Exploring the crossover between art and ceramics, her final piece was a bronze sculpture. Following this, Annabel chose to move back into ceramics. Her most recent work, ‘Modern Relics’, looks at archaeology and memories as an excavation of the mind.
Annabel creates her work from thin earthenware slabs that are torn into sections, and constructed into new forms. These evoke memories of place and time, and highlight a lifelong fascination with fossils, ancient landscape, architecture and found objects.
The repetitive nature of building a form with many smaller pieces is suggestive of musical rhythm. Interruptions, in the form of larger slabs or openings, are indicative of pathways, gateways and views. These pieces are fired multiple times to subtly develop the surface with matt and semi-vitreous slips, often including small areas of glazed highlights with abstract textural drawing in underglaze. -
