Timothy Perks
Tim studied ceramics at Stafford Art College 1979-1983 finihsing with a first class honours in ceramic tableware design. During the early part of his career he worked for companies such as Spode, Staffordshire Potteries and Wedwoods, designing and developing ceramics.
As time passed he wanted to become more involved with figurative sculpture. He decided to teach himself clay sculpting to the very high standards required to work for companies such as Royal Worcester, Coalport China and Lenox China in the USA. Once established he worked as a freelance sculptor for these companies for several years.
Tim now enjoys complete creative freedom to express himself using the medium he loves and knows so well. "I sculpt the female form because of it's sensual beauty, elegance and strength. I prefer slightly unusual poses or snap shot compositions that challenge traditional pre-conceptions of figurative art. Working with clay is something I have always done. I enjoy the notiion of being faced with an inanimate block of clay and sculpting and working it into something with 'life', a recognisable form."
The process begins once Tim has finished a sculpture. He makes a mould from the original form and then hand presses each editiion from the mould himself. Pieces are then decorated, for example with gold leaf, which creates contrasts with the earthy texture of the unglazed ceramic. Sterling silver bands are also wound around some of the pieces, which Tim feels gives them another dimension and draws the eye to certain contours. Vivid colours and markings are also a feature of his work, intended to intregue thwe beholder. "I enjoy mixing species, contemplating our frail evolutionary path and imagining the myriad of possible outcomes that could have been."
