Steph Woods is an Australian contemporary ceramic artist known for her unconventional ceramic vessels. In her practice, she explores the expectations entwined with ceramics by opposing or exaggerating them through themes of reflection, functionality, and form. Outrageous colour and extreme texture are a staple, intended to encapsulate movement within the form and obscure the fragility of the ceramic. Her work is reminiscent of decadent desserts, colourful hues reflective of playful nostalgia, and intricate detail that baffles even the most seasoned art aficionados β all in the realm of ceramic work.
