On the Boards | Andrea Copp + Mike Seymour
VANCOUVER: On January 26th, join the West Coast Modern League, with Addition Agency, for the next in our On the Boards speaker series. We welcome Vancouver-based ceramic artist Andrea Copp (Andrea Copp Ceramics) and artist/designer Mike Seymour (SFossils), each sharing their latest works and research within practices that both articulate intuitive, material-led experimentation with sculptural and functional prerogatives, shaped by life experience, place, community, and technique.
Andrea Copp works primarily in a variety of stoneware and porcelain clays, with ties to both Canada and the UK. Her practice spans sculptural and functional forms, including one-of-a-kind collectible works, paper-thin porcelain sculptures, a sculptural table, wall-based tile pieces, and intuitive rock sculptures. Layered with poetry, story, and emotional landscape, Copp’s work explores inner and outer worlds through material, intuition, and balance, shaped by lived experience and place.
Mike Seymour’s artwork situates itself within the disciplines of craft, design, and sculpture. His process involves an experimental approach to combining and using craft and industrial processes and hands-on collaboration with craftspeople and technicians. Deliberately suspending his focus between crafts such as metalworking, enamelling, glass working and ceramics, combining processes and materials almost haphazardly, his interest lies in bypassing a kind of technical ability to allow the material and techniques to influence the works.
