Nicoletta Savvidou is a Cypriot-born, London-based artist whose practice encompasses both functional objects and experimental works with clay, glass and glaze.
The materials are the protagonists in her work, and she is deeply guided by the choices of materials and the processes she follows. Her practice is iterative, where ideas are explored through the study of material experiments of different combinations of clay, glass and glaze as well as through drawings and the creation of small-scale objects.
She creates a dialogue with the materials, exploring her emotional connection to them, allowing space for multiple interpretations and outcomes, whist at the same time preserving their inherent qualities.
