Peter Moritz is an award winning designer/maker. His aim over the last 40 years has been to produce modern, contemporary and ergonomic furniture that is unique and creates excitement. This exhibition is in part a retrospective.

My first bag of potter's clay was opened with the excitement of testing out a new medium - an approach I often took for a short holiday away from painting (my main art practice for well over three decades). Some years later I'm still with the clay as I discover more and more about the intriguing world of ceramics.

I trained as a printmaker but turned to painting for lack of a press. Now I find the skills and techniques I've learned through these artforms transfer naturally onto the responsive surface of the clay. It's this aspect that particularly interests me.

I combine eastern and western painting and printmaking to compose unique state works on archival paper. Monotypes, monoprints, woodblocks, collography, water colour, collage and etching are some of the processes I use. This approach gives my one-off works a layered, textured and ephemeral quality.
