Gareth Mason’s work contains a paradoxical mix of discomfort and familiarity, pleasure and pain, beauty and beast. He will be ‘in the moment’ at the Festival with several different clays, a wheel, his hands and the accumulated knowledge of his practice and life. His performance will be accompanied by a free-form and wide ranging narrative in which audience input will be key. “I will end up with a very incomplete but (probably) intact vessel, possibly quite large, adulterated in various ways by means of my physical intervention, a blow torch, and a certain haphazard drama.” www.garethmason.net
