Rebecca is an Irish sculptural ceramicist from Co.Galway, with a B.A. Hons Degree in Fine Art, she has always drawn inspiration from the fact that it is innately human to question our existence and explore our environment, looking for existential truths in the natural shapes, patterns and objects that surround us. She is interested in natural order and the fragile balance of nature. Everything that exists having its place from the macroscopic to the microscopic in an ancient harmony. Rebecca is especially interested in objects and patterns not usually seen by the naked eye and likes to bring those images to the forefront in her work. She likes to use geometric shapes that occur in the natural environment, akin to Plato’s view that “Geometry is the key to unlocking the environment”.
