These new Orbit forms are an interesting development for Nicholas Lees. Talking about this new body of work Nicholas said, "When I first began this evolving body of lathe-turned-work, I was a little wary of the form being too readily that of pottery/vessel, as I wanted to give primacy to the visual and sculptural qualities, and so I favoured more geometric and perhaps abstract forms. I have since become more and more comfortable with, and have realised the huge wealth of meaning and resonance available from, engaging more directly with the vessel form. At earlier stages in my career, I made work that was more straightforwardly studio pottery, followed by sculpture which consciously turned away from overt ceramic reference in form and materiality, whilst still having the same rooted approach to thinking in relation to material and process.
