Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, a native
of southeast Australia, will
visit Vancouver in April. tI
have Juse read her
autoblographical notes in the
December "91 issue of the
Studio Potter. It's not easy
to summarize, except that it
makes me think of the song
"T've been everywhere, mar".
She has lead an interesting
life pursuing her paseion for
working with clay: in
Augtralia, in Britain with
Cardew, Leach and otherae, in
France, and back to Australia
by 1974.

She notes, "potting is
definitely my favoured, if
most insecure, means of
survival. -vAlthough my
daily existence is always
hand=te-mouth, I seem to have
fone the things I mest keenly
wanted to doa. Luxury indeed."

In a recent exhibition
statement, she wrote, "My
present concerns are with the
paring of form to allow for
a realtionahip of colour and
line whthin a group. I am
intrigued by the fine Line
between Ehe monotonous and
the Lively. The dull and the
subtle. I use porcelain for
ite strength when fine, and
the way the rims absorb
light: and I fire wlth wood
to add a bloom of fine agh ta
the glazes. But nok toa
much ! I wank nothing
inessential in the work"

Gwyn will have an exhibit of
her work at CABC's Craft-
house, with an opening
reception taking place on
April 16th. Gn April 17th,
she will give a one-day
S@68i0n at ECCAD. (form on
page?) Bon"*t miss it!
