Ceramics & Glass (MA)
Luke Fuller
Luke Fuller began his studies at the Royal College of Art in 2018, on the MA Ceramics & Glass course (he was awarded the Charlotte Fraser Scholarship for outstanding work). Since he completed his BA (3D Design & Craft) at the University of Brighton in 2018, he has won a number of prestigious external prizes and bursaries, including New Designer of the Year at the Business Design Centre, and Nagoya University of Art, Grand Prize. Fuller has shown work internationally at various exhibitions including Masterpiece London, British Ceramics Biennial and FOG Design+Art in San Francisco and is represented by Sarah Myerscough Gallery, London.

Every location has its own history, culture and community, which is inherently marked by human experience. Fuller reflects upon a notion of place which is forged through industrialisation and our dependence on raw materials. His work explores the complex layers of our society and infrastructure, in order to critique and understand the context in which we live.
Using clay and other materials as a vehicle, Fuller expresses his perceptions of landscape and the ambiguous relationship between humans and the natural environment. He manifests his thoughts and concerns through processes of construction and the physicality of making.
He often collaborates and conducts research within industry and many rural locations, and has gained first hand knowledge and experience of the steel, mining, brick and architectural industries.

The Repointing series has been informed and developed through his research into the brick making industry. The work produced pays homage to this ancient craft industry and embodies the kinetic energy used in their fabrication.

The studio for me is a place for filtering, synthesising and editing information gathered, in order to understand my encounters within landscape and the perceptions I have towards industry. It allows me to explore the significance materials and processes have on shaping our environment and how the aggregation of matter, forms the physical world.
I have recently moved into a space on a working arable farm less than 30 minutes from London. The location allows me to stay connected to the capital as well as providing the opportunity to scale up future work. My initial research and experiments I conducted earlier in the year at the RCA will continue and be presented at a physical show in the near future. For all enquires please email lukefuller@live.com.
