Abbie Sunter creates hand-built pieces of contemporary sculpture. Her work explores religion within different cultures and looks at the relationships that we have with myth and legend, through the lens of the natural world.
In many ancient cultures, animals were often used as vehicles for storytelling. Her work aims to imbue these now often endangered creatures with the strength and god-like power that they once held within the stories and beliefs of the ancient world.
Each piece of work is influenced by the country and cultures in which these animals can be found. By looking to the past for inspiration, her work aims to bring forward these gods of nature into a contemporary world where they can be worshipped and revered once again.
Her recent work in Apache Micaceous Clay 164-APA is featured here.
