A hand thrown stoneware vase.
This new series of ceramics explores The North Circular, a 25.7 mile ring road through an A-Z of London’s rotting industrial zones, former insane asylums, and toxic waste dumps. A walk through time as well as territory, to celebrate the sprawl of London, I walked this schizophrenic expressway documenting how it forgets its inhabitants, alienates its business, and confuses its drivers. Psychogeography creating a new category of boredom, one looks for meaning where there is none.
Part of our North Circular series. Each piece includes on-location photography using a Leica Mini Zoom 35mm Film camera from 1993, scribbles, drawings, and notes, applied via ceramic in-glaze transfers.
Hand thrown and fired to 1,220°C.
Height (cm): 12
Diameter (cm): 17
Clay: Staffordshire Stoneware, sunshine yellow glaze, ceramic in-glaze transfers.
Makers Mark: X9
This item is a one-off piece that is made, glazed, and fired by studio potter James Sims in a small studio in Central London. The photographs show the individual pot for sale.
