Artist Statement
Shannon Garson is a ceramicist specialising in thrown, decorated porcelain. Her aim is to create beautiful, useable objects of art through the synthesis of intricate decoration and simple, classic form. Useable Art "The presence of handmade domestic ware has become a symbol of the link between artist and community, the importance of a skill that takes time to learn, a calm, individual voice amid the mass-produced. In this world of fast food, and corporate control of good taste in everything from clothing to home wares the handmade pot represents an investment in individualism, an aesthetic that values patience and celebrates humanity in objects. " from an article published in "Ceramics Art and Perception", vol 54 2004
