ADELA POWELL (1945-2022); a very large stoneware shell form, diameter 46.5cm.
Powell studied the natural sciences and her work reflects a depth of observation of the natural world. Her coastal or river-themed forms often convey a sense of metamorphosis or disintegration evocative of the corrosive power of the elements. Her objects carry the textural polarity of seashells, both silky smooth and rough.
