Works by Patricia Volk
Patricia Volk, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and works from a studio in Farleigh Hungerford, Wiltshire. She has exhibited widely in this country and internationally; notably at Buekenholf-Phoenix Gallery in Belgium, Chichester Cathedral, the Royal West of England Academy. She was Regional Winner of the ING “Discerning Eye” prize in 2007 and shortlisted for the prestigious Brian Mercer Residency. One of her sculptures was also selected as a Southern Arts prize.
Patricia Volk’s sculptures in painted clay are playfully abstract and instinctive. Their language is one of contradictions and juxtapositions of form, line, and often vibrant colour. She uses the idea of individuality to convey the unique identity of each hand-made piece, and its relationship to others.
