Gatherer

By Robert Foster 2023

Lucy Rose Shaftain-Fenner

Developed during the British Ceramics Biennale Talent Development Mentoring Programme, June 2022 - January 2023, 'Gatherer' was staged at Wysing Open 2023, Wysing Arts Centre, UK. An act of temporary communion inspired by an interest in talismans, the work invited those present to collect the gift of a glazed ceramic pendant, and to consider the potency of objects to act as a link through memory to a point in time and space.
