Tara Butler-Frey Ceramics

We cut, score and tear the land.

We take what nature provides, until she has no more to give.

The edges and ditches divide, hem and unfold. 

Layers of time exposed, her history told with our own,

But this magnificent vessel holds precious secrets, 

Memories and stories of many

Still contained, locked within, yet to be told.

​

I work through clay to capture the spirit of the bog – its history, energy and stillness. My work is about time and place, space and contemplation. Through these forms I explore the conversation between a creation of space and the existing place, where man and nature converge and our stories become entwined.
