Anne-Marie Jacobs
Jacobs work is caused by her fascination with the extraordinary Essex salt marsh, often overlooked in the county famous for its big skies. The work is inspired by her own aerial photographs and experience of living on Mersea Island. Jacobs slip cast white earthenware ceramics are unapologetically decorative, their colours and forms and their hand finished surface reliefs are drawn from the beautiful colours and forms of the marsh and the flora which hold the land against the elements.
