Theresa Wormser has worked with clay for more than thirty years, exploring the expressive possibilities of this medium through a range of hand-building techniques. The surfaces of her works are often marked with impressions made with found objects collected on walks around the Cape Peninsula, where she draws inspiration from the textures of the rugged coastline and the resilient beauty of fynbos.

For Theresa, the act of creating is more important than achieving perfect representation. The hand-thrown forms in her A Moment in Time series, for example, are intentionally asymmetric, reflecting the unpredictability of life and the ways in which experience shapes us. Through these imperfect yet balanced forms, she celebrates individuality and the importance of maintaining a sense of uniqueness.
