Lorna Fraser

Lorna Fraser is a ceramic artist who works with porcelain. She uses traditional hand-building methods to create unique one off pieces, small series of works and site-specific installations. Inspired by the infinite array of forms in the botanical world her work explores the sculptural quality of plants, responding to their structure whilst selecting favourite composite shapes in order to create unique ceramic “hybrids”.

The work Ground Cover is inspired by the magical world of tiny mosses and lichens. These diminutive plants, mostly go unnoticed and can be found almost everywhere, colonising walls, trees and boulders. When observed through a hand lens a wonderful myriad of shapes reveals itself, reminiscent of a miniature landscape.
