About This Piece
This piece is an allegory of the confusing, conflicting and bewildering world of online dating in 4th century BCE Athens.
Biography
Scott Barnim established his studio in 1978. His initial training was in a production studio and he finished with a Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, Wales. His degree work involved the development of colour and surface in soda and salt-glazed stoneware and porcelain.
His current work is extensively decorated stoneware, which is pottery produced in a wide range of domestic ware. Concurrent with his regular works, he produces limited ranges of raku, slip-decorated earthenware, and majolica. He also produces reduced Islamic lusterware, a form of pottery that is rare in North America. His studio line of durable stoneware table/kitchen ware, dinnerware, and decorative accessories is inspired by the natural beauty of the Dundas Valley.
His work is included in public and private collections, including Winnipeg, Toronto, and other locations in Ontario. The Barnim Pottery Studio production can be found in selected shops and galleries. The studio is located in an 1850s stone house and stable in the town of Dundas, west of Toronto.
