Silent Witness

Song finds the elegant, and often the uncanny, in his ceramics. Commonly focused on the notion of absence or a biting humour through trompe l’oeil poetry, ‘Silent Witness’ finds the artist in a rarer moment of introspective narrative wit that threaded through his practice in the mid 2000s, the pulp shock of the pulled tongue and skeletal hand balanced with the loving rendering and lyrical balance of colour and composition.
