Collection: Sharon Griffin : Sculptor : Shropshire

Sharon Griffin is a figurative artist who specialises in ceramic sculpture and fine art painting. Sharon is directly inspired by the woodland where she often explores places in which to ‘breathe’. The textures, the smells, the secret spaces all provide a kind of ‘awakening’. Sharon uses the human figure to help communicate a sense of deeper meaning within humankind and of her own experience of being a woman. The sculptures represent a state of being; internal struggles of love, loss, displacement, vulnerability and strength. 

 “I begin with an idea initially but I never really know where the figure will end up. The solid lump of cold wet clay emerges over time to reveal my inner thoughts and feelings. I use clay as an extended voice. An internal and external dialogue, drawing inspiration from the Shropshire Woodlands, Folklore stories and my own imaginings.”
