Jo Howard's artwork has always been intuitively connected to symbols, history, mythology and imaginings. This work specifically relates to a place for dreaming and the need to be surrounded or enclosed in a sanctuary. First conceived by obsessively drawing the winged figure reposed in a grotto (progression from former body of work, Angel Architecture), the oil paintings and hand-built ceramics combine to create an otherworldly atmosphere, a liminal space for dreaming. The Grotto Makers is an exploration of self, sanctuary and a place to be safe for creating and wondering, a difficult task in this increasingly frenetic world.
Creating meaning from self-introspection and connection to spiritual elements, Jo Howard's work is an exploration of what it means to be human, through colour, symbols and philosophic reflection.
