Artist Statement
Roz Fletcher is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice intersects craft, trauma theory, and participatory fine art. Drawing on the therapeutic modality of Cornelia Elbrecht’s The Clay Field and the structures of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) she investigates the sculptural, somatic, and metaphysical capacities of clay . Her sculptural language often includes archetypal ceramic forms embedded within larger, lightweight “mother” structures or 'held' within walls and surfaces. Installations are designed to be both visually resonant and physically interactive. The audience is invited to engage with the sculptures as a means of encountering their own subconscious narratives. Her work offers tactile engagement as a meaningful alternative to screen-based living and conventional art-viewing models.
Technically, Fletcher is committed to the ongoing exploration of sculptural, ceramic and industrial materials. Through technical enquiry and material sensitivity she divines mediums that resonate alongside each other- the silver nitrates of tintype photography align with bespoke low-fire special-effect glazes; lightweight sculptural materials shoulder patinas that blush and bruise over leathery surfaces. Blended industrial materials mimic the pliability of wet clay, maintain it's psychoactive potential, and are used at an ever increasing scale.
Workshops in clay and bi-lateral drawing lean into sensory experience, for embodied art making. In a world increasingly mediated by technology, the workshops provide a much needed space to ground, repair, and reconnect to self, others, and the material world.
