Artist Statement

Leora Honeyman is a 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 project ‘Reseating the Witch’ where she presents magical items that provoke consideration of cultural gaps resulting from the holocaust of the witches.


The usefulness of her objects, whilst hinting at familiar cultural practice, is frequently unclear, prompting the viewer to question their expectations and spotlighting ‘other-hoods’.


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