About Marianne Gerlach
It is the elemental nature of ceramics that attracts and excites me.
The initial inspiration for my work comes from the natural world.
Having said that: I have no wish or intention of directly copying nature ... but a great wish to capture .... communicate ... and bring an ‘essence’ of nature indoors ... into the interior .... into where ‘we’ as so-called modern man tend to spend the majority of our lives.
I seek to work in the space between chaos and order .... or ordered chaos .... where I do not have the full control of the final visuals of the piece but leave it up to the material and to the work process itself to leave its mark too.
