'Burnt Sienna Collapsed Bowl II' is a unique ceramic sculpture by the British artist, Olivia Walker.

Walker works in porcelain and other clays to create pieces that explore ideas of growth and decay through the construction and layering of complex surfaces. All of her pieces start by being thrown on the wheel, before being built upon with thousands of individually applied fragments. Many of her pieces are thrown and altered, often being cut away and reassembled in the leather-hard stage, which allows her to deconstruct the form creating new surfaces on which she can add a multitude of layers.

Walker studied at Farnham in 2014 where she completed her MA in Contemporary Craft, specialising in Ceramics. An apprenticeship with the highly revered potter and writer, Julian Stair, gave her invaluable insight into the practice of running a ceramic studio and also the opportunity to further hone her skills. She has exhibited extensively throughout the UK & Europe, as well as in South Korea, Australia and the USA.

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