Artist's statementI am concentrating on simple forms, trying to integrate balance and tension, stillness and movement, expansion and the containment of volume. All pieces are hand built and some are burnished to achieve a tactile surface. In some pots I have incorporated texture to create a contrast between rough and burnished surface areas. The distinctive patterning which complements these burnished forms is achieved in a carefully organized secondary smoke firing. My most recent work sees a shift from low fired earthenware to high fired stoneware, combining rough black clay with white porcelain, giving me the opportunity to create strong graphic designs in contrasting colours. 'In Ceramics, there is something that lies beyond skill and experience: it is passion, an intensity which is evident in the work of Gabriele Koch.' Tony Birks 'Earth, water, air and fire. Gabriele Koch’s lovely pots speak of all four of those elements as vividly as any I know.' Sir David Attenborough Current work and Availability
