Specialist note

Bouke de Vries's 'exploding' artworks bring new life to ceramic works, Taking fragmented pieces on a new journey, creating something unique, and praising rather than shunning the damage. His work perfectly encapsulates how ceramic art is a constantly evolving art form, and how designs can be and are reshaped through time.
