This series cats has been made as part of the identity in ceramics series - a question of mass production, English craft and trade; Research V&A Museum English slipware & 'Empireland' by Sathnam Sanghera; conversations in history.
They explore ideas around mass manufacturing techniques with references to a bygone regency industrial era of power and mass production. The works appear to be unrefined and falling, unapologetically handmade; rejecting the machine and mass production but also made using a cast for making multiples. It’s a contradiction.
The work forms sculptures unpicking England's political and geographical history with ceramics and trade; a question for the time we live in.

Sam Taylor's early works were based heavily in performance. Exploring themes of class, mysticism and womanhood.
She would evoke spirits that 'created the internet' imagining a new history to creation. Using her voice and repeated rituals to replicate electric sounds from computers, trains and modern life.
A conversation between the machine and flesh which has recently led to machine and the earth.
Medieval detail
The first series of Lions often have references to English identity, monarchy and it's bizarre and often wreckless history.
