CRAIG FLETCHER
Viewers new to Craig Fletcher’s work frequently believe they are looking at the actual object, be it pebble, bumblebee or seaweed without realising that they are the creation of the ceramicist. His plaques are low-relief sculptures washed with water-colour, occasionally high-lighted with gold leaf.
They begin as a pencil drawing on paper, this is then drawn onto a slab of clay which becomes the original sculpture. Once completed up to fifteen impressions are made in clay so destroying the original, these are fired, emerging from the kiln pure white to be painted. Some of these images are also cast into bronze, patinated and gilded.
Craig is currently working with materials, subject matter and palette of colours that all have naturalness, earthiness and purity. These qualities are abundant around the coastline and hillsides where Craig has made his home in the South Island of New Zealand for fifteen years after arriving from England via Australia. After the Christchurch earthquakes Craig has since shifted to the North Island.
A professional artist for over twenty years Craig has participated in numerous exhibitions in New Zealand and overseas and has been recognised with awards from both the print industry and the arts community.
