Thomas Mason (b. 1990, Sydney) is a ceramicist whose practice centres on material processes, traditional potters’ techniques and kiln chemistry as sites of discovery. Natural phenomena, embodied movement and industrial processes inform the work, extending into building, painting and multimedia installation.
Mason’s work sits between sculpture and function, where physical force, balance and responsiveness act as formal drivers. Processes of pressure, rotation and resistance shape the work, allowing material behaviour to remain visible. Clay operates as both structure and surface, holding traces of movement, touch and construction within the finished form.
