ANOTHER LAND
Another Land is a project exploring the sculptural agency of nature and how materials are formed and constantly reformed. As one of the most elemental of materials in earth, Clay is matter as well as a process. Inspired by the incidental processes through which landscape has shaped itself, I have tried to create a set up where forms emerge as a result of repeated activity over time.
These fragments are not necessarily an approach to refine, rather an attempt to understand the context through which the forms emerge.
The forms are derived from the process and become part assemblages, part sculptures in their own right. The works appears like a topographical mark taken from a map but could equally reference a cell structure.
The oddities in the process and forms are heightened to create a vocabulary of material and textures.
The construction lines and parting lines are exaggerated by the use of defined marble forms to hold and recompose the fragments. Clay references the incidental process and marble, the controlled

PRIYANKA SHARMA
Priyanka Sharma is a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art. Priyanka originally studied product design before completing her MA in Ceramics and Glass. She was awarded the Commonwealth Scholarship to study at the RCA for her work with vernacular materials and craft practices from the Indian subcontinent.
Priyanka’s practice emerges from her engagement with materials and their unique lives. She is known for her tactile approach, playing with texture, techniques, and natural materials.
Priyanka along with Dushyant Bansal set up Studio Raw Material in 2016. Studio Raw Material is an ongoing exploration of geology in terms of material and processes. The studio and workshop are based in the desert plains of western India.
