Since starting to work with clay in 2006, making forms on the wheel has become my passion. I enjoy testing the boundaries of thrown vessels and exploring the limits of clay, carving into my work to see how I can transform it into something sculptural and unique. I am inspired by nature; things that usually go unseen or unnoticed. I examine plant life: patterns and shapes on bark, shades of colours on flowers, skeletal veins on leaves, growing seedlings unfurling and seeking light. I like to deconstruct things I see and recreate them in my own way. Each piece is an individual expression of nature; of self. The intent is not to replicate objects, but to simply translate something seen, or experienced in a unique and interesting way. My works are to be explored, to draw you into their own internal worlds, to be discovered and unveiled.
The Red Teapot Gallery joyfully promotes the very original artwork of Anthony Macleod, who works from a home studio near Fremantle creating soulful works on paper and canvas. The teapot and teacup often feature in Anthony’s work and are metaphors for inspiration, warmth, sharing, abundance, and giving and receiving. Art that inspires. At the Red Teapot Gallery we celebrate friendship, love, family life, music, nature, gardens and the path of the seeker. We offer art that expresses joy, passion and honours life. The Red Teapot Gallery also has an exciting range of art prints for adults and children, art greeting cards and inspirational posters. Anthony works in pastel and gouache, oil, acrylic and hand painted Japanese papers. Our mission is to bring these vibrant celebrations into your home, office, and life.
