'Triple Dip Fold I' is a unique sculptural vessel by the British artist Steven Edwards.

Edwards purposely places his clay under stress to reveal the natural tension and movement in its surface and form. Pushing, pulling, compressing and slicing - his aim is to provoke a reaction from his material.

Whilst challenging and pushing his material to the limits, often using clay bodies in ways they are not designed for, Edwards purposely exploits unexpected outcomes. 

With his Dip Fold Collection, Edwards throws clay spheres that are partially immersed in slip, achieving a smooth, satin-like coating. The speed and duration of each dip, dictates its thickness, with multiple layers building subtle contour lines. Careful attention is given at the point of separation, where the final touchpoint is manipulated to form a concentrated curled peak, capturing a suspended moment in time.

The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
