Time, space, and identity dominate the work of ceramic artist Louise Deroualle. Her aim is to make people stop, think, and contemplate the subtlety of the surface, and the layers that helped create it. “The contemporary world is flooded with excess information. We go through information fast and don’t give time to interact with it,” Deroualle says. “My work is a counterpoint to this contemporary speed: I intend my work to be revealed through a quiet and introspective moment of interaction between the viewer and the piece. Through careful observation, the work unfolds itself and allows the viewer to access the many different layers of material and meaning, rewarding them for their engagement.”
