HORNSEA artist Adele Howitt is exhibiting The Landscape Is Memory until Thursday at the York College Gallery.
Dividing her time between curatorial work and commissions, Adele works mainly in clay and her artistic investigations include microscopic landscapes within pathology and pollen grains.
“I try to capture a moment of time remembered within a sculpture and have the object report to us,” says Adele.
“Time imprints the landscape with evidence of its passing, speaking to us through ephemeral tide lines, beaches and wave forms locked in geological strata, forming a unit or vessel for carrying information; cells of genetic inheritance.
“Memory, science, relevance of pattern and form found in landscape are concepts that I’ve been developing for a number of years in various three dimensional forms.”
Adele has exhibited across Europe, ranging from the Steninge Slott Cultural Centre in Sweden for the World Art in Clay exhibition to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London and the Ceramica Multiplex at Kerameikon, Croatia.
She co-owns the Studio Eleven craft workshop and gallery, where she is based, in Hull’s historic fruit market, the East Yorkshire city’s new cultural quarter.
