Adam Buick uses the single, pure jar form as a canvas to map his observations of the landscape. By incorporating local stone and clay into his work, he creates an artistic narrative that conveys a truly unique sense of place. Mineral inclusions in the surface of his pots create one-off effects during firing, and this tension between materials reflects the ways that landscapes shape us as individuals.
Internationally recognised ceramicist Adam Buick makes work that is strongly embedded in the subjective study of landscape. From his distinctive large scale Moonjars to groups of miniature pots, his simple, highly tactile ceramic forms are glazed in a palette of natural colours, and incorporate the texture of grit, sand and rocks into their surfaces.
Adam's ceramics have been widely exhibited, including at the British Museum, and his work is represented in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum.
