MARLOWE  (Annie Begley)
M
y experience in the pottery industry combined with my sculpture practice has led me to producing functional art forms in the form of character jugs and vessels. I work from direct observation to ensure that I capture the essence of the particular model I am investigating. With both creatures and people - l really need to meet the subject so that l can engage with their personal idiosyncrasies before l commence a painting or sculpture... This character jug was created after meeting Marlowe a couple of times. His spectacles and beard are obviously main parts of his visage but I feel that the eyes are the most important aspect of any portrait.
