The Individuals are unique ceramic pieces each with their own character, but when united they become stronger, more dramatic and multi-faceted - as we individual people are defined by the context of our groups and society.

"In my practice I put one element against the other in a way that is satisfying or dynamic. It's purely visual and instinctive. If there is a deeper intellectual meaning, I like to think that it is brought by the viewer: I don't like to limit their experience by giving a sculpture a set of explanation or description. Sometimes I know what is going on in my head, but more often I let my hands do the "thinking". That doesn't mean it's easy - far from it because I take a very long time to consider the exact colours. Some might watch my activity and indecision and quite honestly think it's the total obsessiveness of a mad person. As a sculptor, I am drawn to the combination of non-figurative form and colour to set off a series of juxtaposing ideas in the viewer's mind - tranquility/elegance, power/sadness, rest/conflict, a sense of movement... all these things reflect human emotions." - Patricia Volk, 2025
