This ceramic plate was thrown and fired by artist Lydia Carter. It depicts a carved roof boss from St Cuthbert's church in Wells, Somerset.
Carter is a craftsperson exploring folk identity, meaningful labour, and nature worship. Using a diverse range of materials to create works which muddy the boundary between craft and fine art, their work invites a slower, deeper, and more profound consideration of the connections between time, place, landscape, custom, and tradition.
