Nancy and Gordon Baldwin

Nancy Baldwin and Gordon Baldwin
Nancy Baldwin and Gordon Baldwin
Dance of Life
8 January – 1 February 2014
“This exhibition shows the results of an exciting collaboration between the
husband and wife team of potter and sculptor Gordon and painter Nancy
Baldwin. After decades of work, they embarked on a new phase of their creative
partnership. In the wake of some inspiring discussions Gordon built a series of
vessel forms – three-dimensional canvasses – which were then further animated
and decorated through Nancy’s mark-making – modelling, carving, and painting
with glaze. The resulting series truly combines the creative strengths of both.
For Nancy and Gordon these new vessels represent a new venture in their
personal creative development. Though Nancy has pursued a career as a
painter, like Gordon, she originally studied Pottery at the Central School
of Arts and Crafts. For Nancy this was an unparalleled and enthusiastically
embraced opportunity to work freely and intuitively directly on the raw clay
surface, exploring treatments for portraying the nude on three-dimensional
form, a point where vessels and figures seem to converge and become part of
a seamless broader whole.”
