Adam Buick a BA in Archaeology and Anthropology, Lampeter University before turning to his artistic practice at the West Wales School of Art, Carmarthen and the Crafts Council of Ireland Ceramics Design and Skills Course. He has since received numerous awards for his work including the Creative Wales Award from the Arts Council of Wales (2017), the Jerwood Maker Open (2013) and Ceramic Review Award (2013).
Buick’s work uses a single pure jar form as a canvas to map his observations from an ongoing study of his surroundings. He incorporates stone and locally dug clay into his work to create a narrative that conveys a unique sense of place. The unpredictable nature of each jar comes from the inclusions and their metamorphosis during firing. This individuality and tension between materials speaks of the human condition and how the landscape shapes us as individuals. With his site-specific work he is venerating the landscape.
