Maia Walton

An artist whose sculptural practice is led by the sensuous materiality of clay. Her work seeks to give physical form to haptic communication, exploring the desire to create a visual expression of non-visible sensory connection. Maia approaches making as an act of care, cultivating an intimate relationship between her body and the material. Her work sees clay as a material agent to be interacted with, rather than acted upon. Forms organically emerge through responsive making, the resulting objects a record of holistic process.

Maia holds an MA in Ceramics from Arts University Plymouth and works within the third sector in community centred spaces.
