Chris's personal involvement with farming and the landscape give him a special empathy with his native Britain. He's a genuine "son of the soil" who has worked the land for a living and who still works with some of the substance of that "land" to make his vessels
Within the many layers of his unique glazes, that are first built up and then partially taken back with abrasion and multiple firings, there is contained a search for the essence of an ancient landscape and for the shadows of its creators.
These gleanings, so passionately sought, reveal themselves only gradually, like flint artefacts occasionally turned up by the plough

Additional Notes‘The farming landscape has always been the inspiration for my work. Today's pots have moved closer to the source of that inspiration. In them is reflected both my landscape now and a search for those ancestors who farmed it thousands of years ago. The new pots fill my benches like Coptic jars preserving the viscera of this landscape’.
Chris is a singular potter. He is not remotely concerned about the craft mainstream but highly focused on what he calls a ‘sense of rightness’. His journey, which he hopes has some way to go yet, is a potent mix of landscape, memory and high craft. His standards are exacting and his search for ‘rightness’ underpins the continuous development of his work.

Additional NotesCURATOR’S CHOICE Pot of the Month - May 2010 We really are spoilt for choice this month. Almost any one of the fifty six pieces in this show could have been selected. However there is one vessel that stands out for me and it is this Waisted Stoneware. It is 37.5 cm high with a burnished flinted copper glaze. It needs to be touched. It has a genuinely sensuous quality and Chris Carter’s passion for throwing and his undoubted skill as a thrower are reflected in the volume and lines of this wonderful pot. As with so many of the pieces in this show, the interior is matt black and this gives the illusion of added volume – a sense that the pot has the capacity to be even greater than it is. Chris Carter’s talks about a ‘sense of rightness’ when a pot is finished and if objective evidence of this sense were needed then I think that this pot will do very well.

Additional NotesWhen I heard that we had inputted 6000 pots on to the Gallery website since the re-launch of the gallery in 2006 it was quite a revelation. We have had the pleasure of showing some of the most exciting studio potters in the UK and beyond and yet, there is some wonderful serendipity in the fact that the 6000th should have been made by Chris Carter one of the country’s unsung masters of his craft. This simple vessel is anything but simple. It is modest in size but its volume is considerably enhanced by the barrel shape and the matt black interior which gives the pot – as with all Carter’s work – the potential to be ‘something else’. We know that Chris puts great store by ‘rightness’ and this vessel seems just right from the signature carved foot to the elegantly thrown shoulder. This pot is part of a wonderful solo show of Chris’s work which is running for the month of May. The range of pots is stunning and some of the best of his work I have seen. Not to be missed.
