Ché Finch

Ché Finch is an artist working primarily in ceramics, much of which has an autobiographical element representing an internal dialogue of what memory is and how those memories change and transform us. Fascinated by restricting visual narrative as a creational approach, Ché uses this to drive her work, constantly challenging the way she sees and presents visuals. This approach stems from earlier work as a tutor using African Rhythm Tree as a therapeutic tool, where structure is used to create an expressive freedom within and aimed at innovating new work and techniques. Ché produces richly textured vases with repeated layering of multiple glazes, stains and oxides being a signature of her expertise and work, with a focus on glaze interactions referencing a constant sense of flux. These techniques enable her to incorporate great levels of detail and texture throughout the work. “I love the intimacy of working with clay and the ambiguity that glazes lend my work. For me it’s very much about being there and allowing my feelings to drive and reinterpret the work”. Her work is characterised by raw energy and expressive style.
