Always encouraging to see ceramic work which invites thought and debate… This past weekend I discovered some very exciting work by Johannesburg-based
Julie Lovelace at Gallery at Grand Provence in Franschoek, outside Cape Town. Julie uses the language of ceramics to comment on the parallel absurdities in our society – reminiscent of the work of the British artists Carol McNicholl . and Grayson Perry – but very poignant in the South African context.
