Rhythms of Making - Iva Polachova & Lizzie Kimbley

Rhythms of Making Iva Polachova & Lizzie Kimbley 9 November - 13 January 2024

Flow’s winter show explores the rhythms of making in two practices – ceramics and weaving. Ceramicist Iva Polachova’s work finds rhythms in the repetitive techniques of hand-building, where her hands slowly build forms through repeated movement.

This process is echoed in the mark-making of her surfaces, with her signature patchwork of parallel lines. Weaver Lizzie Kimbley finds daily inspiration from walks in local wilderness, which she reflects on as she patiently creates her wall-pieces: each work quietly contemplates nature and place, reflecting the rhythm of her daily rituals in the repeated patterns of weaving.

Iva Polachova

Ceramics

“The joy of making is to be aware and in harmony with the rhythms of the making process. The form, size, material and method of creating a hand-build piece guide the rhythm of its making. The external decoration - interplay of marks, glazes and the clay body all create rhythms on the surface of the piece. The finished piece has it own unique voice.”

Lizzie Kimbley Weaving

“Inspired by daily walks in the marsh and meadows close to home, the rhythm of walking becomes meditative, and this sense of calm and reflection is echoed in the delicate open weave structures and mindful stitching. The wandering weft references the repetition of daily walks to create quiet and meditative pieces that celebrate time spent in nature. “
