Nancy Baldwin and Gordon Baldwin
Nancy Baldwin and Gordon Baldwin Dance of Life 8 January – 1 February 2014
“This exhibition shows the results of an exciting collaboration between the husband and wife team of potter and sculptor Gordon and painter Nancy Baldwin. After decades of work, they embarked on a new phase of their creative partnership. In the wake of some inspiring discussions Gordon built a series of vessel forms – three-dimensional canvasses – which were then further animated and decorated through Nancy’s mark-making – modelling, carving, and painting with glaze. The resulting series truly combines the creative strengths of both. For Nancy and Gordon these new vessels represent a new venture in their personal creative development. Though Nancy has pursued a career as a painter, like Gordon, she originally studied Pottery at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. For Nancy this was an unparalleled and enthusiastically embraced opportunity to work freely and intuitively directly on the raw clay surface, exploring treatments for portraying the nude on three-dimensional form, a point where vessels and figures seem to converge and become part of a seamless broader whole.” Philip Hughes, Ruthin Craft Centre
