Chris Rhodes - Photographer
British photographer Chris Rhodes photographs Burleigh with clarity, intimacy and a lightness of touch. Moving between the whole object and its smallest details, he finds unexpected compositions in pattern, colour and form, with moments of wit, playfulness and a poetic familiarity.
His images sit between art and document. They record the character of objects made by hand and the craft behind each piece, within the joyful rituals of daily life.
Throughout the series, Rhodes reveals the ceramics' depth of tissue-transferred colour, together with the natural variation and personality of each piece. The result is a sensitive and imaginative study of Burleigh, Britishness and craft.
