An intergenerational relationship between three Watson/Brand family women has been expressed lovingly through a new project exhibiting at Side Gallery. Memories explores three generations who actively pursued a ceramic project to document spending precious time together. Leonie Watson, Liz Watson, and Minnie Brand, ages ranging between 70 something, 40 something and 6 years old, have spent months working together to build the totemic sculptures. There is a beautiful playfulness in the process, with glazed drips and handmade texture giving the structures the “organic geometry” we see.
