Cooked is a group show of contemporary ceramics that challenge the distinction between function and sculpture,  presented by Lamington Drive in collaboration with artist Jane Sawyer, director of Slow Clay Centre.

​

Cooked brings together 8 contemporary artists producing ceramic objects with an illustrative, graphic style. The works range from small scale structures with finely rendered graphic detail, layered assemblages and wall-based reliefs to painterly large-scale vessels and humorous reproductions of utilitarian objects. Along with their ceramic practice, a number of the artists pursue other artistic disciplines – writing, drawing, painting, collage, architecture and sculpture – which further informs their work. Many of the pieces incorporate some aspect of cross-media experimentation which sees foreign elements and materials like glass beads, wood or paper being incorporated in the pieces.
