| FOR
JIM MALONE, clay is an infinitely varied and mysterious element in
itself, and capable of infinite surprises,even to an old hand. It
is a a matter of being open to the possibilities,and taking new risks
in each cycle of making. As Jim's great teacher and friend Ewen Henderson
stressed, what is the point of re-exploring the same territory? In
Malone's case this questioning dialogue is manifested in a remarkably
free three-dimensional eye and an expansive use of glazes and slips
that become an extension of the clay, and not simply a covering. His
enviably relaxed throwing is part of a particularly attentive alliance
with the substances he uses, as is the remarkable spontaneity of his
tides of colour and incised drawing. Extract from an essay by David Whiting to accompany a solo exhibition by Jim Malone held at the Oakwood Gallery in 2000 |
