Tessa Richardson
Tessa Richardson is a visionary in the realm of contemporary ceramics, an artist whose works transcend craftsmanship to become profound explorations of cultural identity and human experience. With a rich heritage that blends Indian and Anglo cultures, Tessa's art serves as a bridge between diverse traditions, reflecting the multicultural tapestry of the United Kingdom. Her artistic journey, which began with an innate passion for sketching and creation, was further honed through rigorous academic training at Ravensbourne College and Nottingham Trent University, UK. There, she earned a BA in Fine Arts with a specialization in Conceptual Art, laying the groundwork for her multifaceted approach to art. Tessa Richardson transforms ceramics into a medium of exploration and discovery, balancing loss and liberation through techniques like wheel throwing, hand building, and Raku firing. Embracing risk and finding beauty in imperfection, her work reflects clay's role as both a medium and a mentor. Tessa’s art challenges traditional fine art boundaries by merging functionality with expressive form, inviting viewers to explore interconnectedness of the natural world. Each piece serves as a portal to grasp the recurring patterns and cycles that emerge throughout the natural world, celebrating the harmonious interplay of form, substance, and meaning while highlighting the beauty and complexity of our shared human experience.
