NAME: Ann Goodfellow

PROFILE:

My work deals primarily with the figure, conveying notions of existence, and other aspects of the ‘human condition’. Working large-scale, and always using ceramic material, I am continually searching for new ways of presenting the figure. At present I am developing a body of work, which explores the idea of ‘presence’ linked to temporal experience.  Underpinned by the philosophies of Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, the pieces reflect precise moments in time, and space. The highly graphic surface qualities make reference to the gestures, and rhythms of drawing, and evidence my own presence, as the artist.

Ann Goodfellow studied at Swansea Institute of Higher Education, gaining a BA (Hons) in Ceramics  in 1996. From this time until the present she has been a part-time lecturer at Coleg Sir Gar, and also a tutor within Community Education. In 2006 she completed further study at U.W.I.C. gaining an M.A. in Ceramics. During the last three years she has been a director of a local artists’ co-operative gallery.
