LOUISE O’CONNOR - CERAMICIST

Since graduating I have been making animals, mostly penguins and elephants, but also frogs and other items. Over the years my work has developed and become more and more of a fine art whereby I am extremely conscientious about my approach and attention to detail and quality. My sculptures hope to not only capture the beautiful and serene qualities of each species I make, but also sets out to display their humorous qualities that can only be described as a light-hearted parody of human behaviour.  

Each animal is individually hand sculpted from scratch whereby no repetitive or industrial techniques or tools are employed. This makes every piece I make unique and full of its own individual character and personality.
