Abstract Circular Ceramic Sculptures, Artist Matthew Chambers

Reminiscent of how smooth and round I felt my first grade clay pot would look when I was finished, Matthew Chambers creates beautiful circular ceramic sculptures and vessels that have me smiling. I’m not sure if it is the round shapes, the smooth surfaces, the multi-layered effect or the muted colors, but I really love Chambers’ contemporary abstract creations.

“I make sculpture that is born from the potters wheel. Many sections are thrown and built to create a constructed beauty, rhythm, and symmetry in abstract form. I am interested in the travel and progression of layered three dimensional pattern, and how this can create different qualities depending on the workings of three essential factors:

– The construction: Simplicity to complexity. Circular or fragmented.
– The rhythm pattern: Different rhythms produced through the construction and the placement of parts.
– The viewing position and depth in form: Horizontal, vertical or angular. Inside space or enclosed rhythm.

It is a true love of the making process that drives the creation of my sculpture. Through practice and persistence I have developed a unique way of making, and it is this alongside the versatility of clay that is essential in creating the individual character of the work.” – Matthew Chambers

I just love Chambers’ description of his work!
