Dungog By Design’s “In the Frame” artist for April 2025 is Suzanne Morrison.
Artist Statement
Creating art from clay is my passion. It lifts me up, gives me solace and peace.
My first experience using this medium was at boarding school in the sixties although I did not enjoy the feel and texture of the clay at that time. There is a time for everything and obviously that was not the time for me.
It was not until I moved to Armidale that I ventured into this area again and was blessed to find amazing Japanese potters who awakened my passion to create. Although the Japanese aesthetic has stayed with me, especially the ash glazes, I have found my own unique style.
Handbuilding is my forte with the wheel coming into play intermittently. Glazes excite me. I like clean lines and unusual shapes and forms which often come about organically. This comes from my soul and innate creative spirit.
