Carol Peace

A studio is a solitary place, a silent place , the best days here have two hands in clay, play is visceral in its intensity, but stories float about, images of what it is to be human are found in lumps of mud, people emerge, look left, fall in love, grip another’s hand, rest a thumb tenderly against a cheek, sit thigh to thigh. Or stand with a sister or sit with a mother or rest quietly on their own holding Spring.

The studio is a place of thought

I absolutely love being on my own in the studio, I would turn hours to weeks to months to insanity and not notice, and still want more, but I absolutely love people and to welcome them into my space to say, hello, this is me, now, here.

This is who I am.

This may be a tidied, slightly more curated version of me but then, who doesn’t want to show themselves in the best light with clean shoes and the washing up done.
