Josse Davis, ceramics
I was born into a world of colour and form. My father was a full-time studio potter and his studio was an alchemists laboratory to me; where dusty sacks of clay powder were dragged in and turned into beautiful treasures.
Although throwing at four I spent my formative years modelling animals. My first commission came to me aged six; make the neighbour three sharks. After the glaze firing however I realized all my dorsal fins were facing backwards.
I hope my animals still contain traces of that illusive ingredient, the naive charm of a benign smile or awkward squint.
