‘My Regrets as a Dog’

Jonathan’s work is primarily in figurative or low-relief ceramics. His practice is a means of storytelling, and enjoy responding to the characters, scenarios, and hidden folklore that enrich a community. He is looking for a tipping point when making, the moment when a character becomes relatable. His recent pieces have involved figurative animal-human forms, concerned with allegory and memory. As a dedicated diary keeper, he often uses writing as a means of working through challenges, and likes the idea of his work also in this role, being a figurative other with which to have a dialogue. In this sense, he is also interested in how time becomes a hand in his work, the idea of capturing a fragile, transitory state, which may be read in the hereafter.
