Hedley has been part of that experimental voyage that took the broader art school training into the pottery studio to explore unlimited expressions available with clay.
He still respects and uses the art of the potter and makes vessels and some functional ware at times. But over the last quarter century his work has become much more dependent on drawing in and with the clay to pursue figurative narratives, often exploring socio-political content while continuing to use the broad skills of the potter to develop and enrich the work.”
