This piece is made with the artists signature technique, using clays excavated from different sites across the UK. It incorporates slips and glazes developed in the studio over time and tested to extreme heat. It draws reference to the actions of the 'caddisfly', collecting and assimilating debris as it moves along the surface of a river bed. Lancaster's work often explores and draws similarities between nature and human intervention.

Julia Ellen Lancaster is an artist working with clay and ceramics. Lancaster’s work is driven by a compulsion to respond to emotional intuition, and externalise the impression that a time, or the feeling a space and its contents, provoke. Lancaster often works with wild clay, black clay and collected materials, exposing them to heat to alter their make up and structure, working intuitively to explore their qualities.

Lancaster is a Tutor at Art Academy London.
