Charlie Duck – Week 1 – Ja, genau

July 4, 2016

My name is Charlie Duck, I am an artist from the UK.

In my first week at Sasso I have made the most of my new surroundings, working outdoors as much as possible. Each morning I have followed the numerous paths criss-crossing Mount Gambarogno, the mountain behind the house, drawing as I go.

In the afternoons I have tended to either read or spend time producing further drawings and paintings, using the sketches produced in the mornings as points of departure.

In the evenings Jens, Sarah, Si-Ying and myself have walked, scrumped, swum, climbed and cooked together.

Alongside all of that, I also spent some time in the studio of local artist, Edith Corrieri, where I began a number of ceramic pieces, continuing on from work made back in the UK. They will be bisque fired this week, and then I will return to glaze them.
