Cherry-Vision

{ temperature 1400°C }

A solo ceramics exhibition on class, place, and the intersection of digital and ceramic vocabularies. Opening at the Scottish Ceramics Gallery, Aberdeen, December 2026.

The problem

Multanni mitti and British stoneware share a kiln but not a memory, and the point at which that becomes permanent is also the point at which it stops being reversible.

What I'm making

A solo exhibition built around 1400°C — the temperature stoneware vitrifies, and decisions stop being undoable.

What made it hard

A body of work being made across 2025–26 for a solo show, extending a technique into forms it has not been tried on.

Scale The slip-stripe technique extended into larger forms than it has been proven on

New ground Digital-source surface work translated into a ceramic vocabulary

The material Two traditions in one kiln, with the pairing carrying the show's argument about class and place

Irreversibility At vitrification the decisions are final — the constraint the whole premise sits on

The turn

1400°C is where the argument becomes permanent

The premise is simple. 1400°C is the temperature at which stoneware vitrifies, and it is also the temperature at which most decisions stop being reversible. Building the show around that fact makes the firing the subject rather than the last step — class, place and the meeting of a digital and a ceramic vocabulary all get argued out in a process where you commit before you can see the result.

The Premise

Cherry-Vision is a body of work being made over 2025–26 for a solo ceramics exhibition at the Scottish Ceramics Gallery, Aberdeen. The premise is simple. 1400°C is the temperature at which stoneware vitrifies. It's also the temperature at which most decisions stop being reversible.

The work continues my multanni mitti practice — Pakistani earthenware clay fired alongside British stoneware, two material traditions that share a kiln but not a memory. New pieces extend the slip-stripe technique into larger forms, and introduce digital-source surface work that's translated through hand process.

Full case study, documentation, and exhibition photography will be added here as the work develops. For preview enquiries, gallery requests, or to be notified when the show opens — get in touch.

Where it landed

In progress. Opening at the Scottish Ceramics Gallery, Aberdeen in December 2026. Full documentation and exhibition photography will be added here as the work develops — this page is deliberately a placeholder until then.

What it unblocked

Nothing to report yet — the show hasn't opened. This beat gets written when there is something true to put in it, rather than a claim made in advance.
