Artist Statement

Honeyman is a UK based, multi-media artist, centred in the crafts of ceramics and glass.

Intrigued by the semiotics of the things of everyday life and their capacity for exchange and understanding, she reimagines use, materiality and process to construct hypothetical realities and discuss parallel ethnographic trajectories.

Her collections tend towards a restorative response, imagining missing legacies, such as with the Djinn Jar series and with the Thrones of the Fae where she presents magical items that provoke speculative consideration of cultural gaps such as those resulting from the loss of the witches.

The purpose of her objects, whilst hinting at familiar cultural practice, is frequently unclear, prompting the viewer to question their cultural origin and the habits of the people to whom they may belong.

Working across multiple processes, she employs her skills, craftsmanship and empathic understanding of materials in unusual ways. Digitally produced geometries are subjected to unpredictable, alchemic, material transformations in the kiln, while pattern and purpose are transplanted from their usual associations offering end results which encourage the otherworldly interpretation of the work.
