Patricia Volk creates abstract sculpture with the emphasis on form and colour. Born in Belfast and based in the West Country, her practice is motivated by affinity with her material and instinctual decisions. Seeking the perfect line, her distinctive art plays with knowing contradictions of lightness and weight, fragility and power, as a way of expressing human relationships and emotions. Born in Belfast in 1951, Volk works in painted fired clay, using colour intuitively, embracing contradiction between movement and weight, aiming to evoke tranquility, power and emotional responses through non-figurative form.
