Ceramicist David Ray layers an abundance of colours, textures, and decals onto hand-crafted ceramic vessels. Ray’s recent work incorporates painting, moulding and glazing techniques in the creation of sports trophies that symbolise alternate views of triumph: coming second in a competition, being delusional about one’s abilities, or the simple achievement of just turning up.
