Ceramics – Contemporary – Discussion

Date & Time: Thursday 28th April 2016
Venue: Space C1-C3

In this one-hour session, Tony Briffa unveils the evolution leading up to his ceramic work in Re-Collection, the development of his thought process and technique, as well as the various themes and preoccupations which have shaped his work over the past thirty years.

Re-Collection is an exhibition of ceramic art by artist Tony Briffa which focuses on the form-function paradigm, and where the artist creates sculptural objects, vessels and wall-hanging pieces that draw symbolic significance from the artist’s local roots in order to translate them into new forms. These in in turn, are extracted and dislodged from their familiar context, and placed in another, which is the one we ultimately perceive.
