Ceramics by John Roy, New Zealand

John Roy, born 1972, is a New Zealand potter who is known for his work with iconic forms and social memory. He was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Whanganui Polytechnic in 1997.

Roy's work is often inspired by everyday objects, such as cups, bowls, and plates. However, he twists and distorts these forms to create new and unexpected shapes. His work is also often highly decorated, with intricate patterns and designs.

Roy is interested in the way that objects can carry social memory. He believes that the objects we use in our everyday lives can tell us a lot about our culture and our history. His work often explores themes of identity, belonging, and nostalgia.

Roy's work has been exhibited extensively in New Zealand and internationally. He has also won numerous awards for his work, including the Premier more... Award at the New Zealand Society of Potters Exhibition in 2004 and the Supreme Award at the Waiheke Ceramics Award in 2004.

Roy's work is held in public collections throughout New Zealand, including the Sarjeant Gallery Whanganui, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. less...
