Chris Keenan

“There are few things that offer me greater satisfaction than being at the wheel, throwing or turning. My work and knowledge of clay occupies a fairly narrow band of the extremely broad ceramic spectrum but that band does go deep. I have only ever used porcelain and for the most part, only two glazes. I largely make work in small batches and for these, repetition is key; but the word “repetition” belies the reality that each piece represents a separate examination of the form in question and is a nuanced response to a previous incarnation.”

Over the past few years, Chris has been making non-functional, interactive installation pieces which have at their core a sense of playfulness, incorporating elements of theatre which is a nod to his previous existence as an actor.

All his work is thrown Limoges porcelain which is predominantly fired in a gas kiln with tenmoku and celadon glazes.
