SARAH BING
I build large ceramic sculptures and throw and handbuild functional pieces. I also make tiles for kitchens and bathrooms by commission, and hold private classes in my home studio.
I started 10 years ago and was immediately obsessed as soon as I touched clay. It feels like the perfect medium because you can create anything your mind can dream up. My pots try to be frivolous and colourful. I spend a lot of time reading, and my work is often inspired by whatever I’m reading at the time of creation.
I love colour and pattern and my motto is more is more.
My sculptures are generally figurative, these works celebrate simple human bliss; diving into the ocean, raising one’s face to the sun, ice cream dripping down your hand, standing tall – confident in your abilities.
I’m currently working on a series incorporating body painting, photography, painting and
sculpture.
