William Cobbing’s sculptures and videos involve a playful interaction between people immersed in mounds of formless clay. Stories are told with the earthy substance through the puckered expression of a glazed ceramic face, or the ASMR sensation of fingers squelching clay on a digital screen. The materiality of clay is explored by connecting people, extending body boundaries, and merging them with the landscape.
Cobbing’s work is part of the exhibition in Aberystwyth Arts Centre Gallery 1 – see full details here >>> ‘From Ceramic to Sound’, and he will be conducting an Artist Talk as part of the festival’s programme of lectures
