Journeys, Pathways and Track Plans
(Funded by Arts Council, England)
Spode 2014
The walls at Spode are steeped in history, echoing with
past conversations no-one else can hear. Whispers from the
past journey to the present, bringing the historical and the
contemporary together.
In Spit and Dust Joyce Iwaszko explores the use of
colour, shape and pattern to evoke the essence and
atmosphere of a place. She investigates the use of
traditional and unconventional materials such as pigment,
paint, spit, dust and dirt.
Around the site magnolia paint has been used to cover the
internal walls. Due to water penetration over time, the
colour has deepened in certain places to an ochre hue. The
blue pigment within the work represents ‘Blue China’
produced in the local area, and more specifically, at Spode.
The abstract mark-making is influenced by shapes and
patterns traditionally found on the ware, which prompts
memories and thoughts of an industrial past, together with a
social history.
Joyce Iwaszko’s interests include colour, texture,
layers, clay, pigment, cement, heritage, trace, metaphor,
transient, contemporary and secret codes.
