Focusing on an excerpt of AJ’s ambitious project White Rock, which exists through an imagined society fixated on the production and preservation of porcelain objects, AJ is developing In Guise of the Rock; an installation on the ancient material of kaolin, as it comes into being. Kaolin is a fine soft white clay formed over centuries as hard lumps of granite break down and decompose, and it’s pivotal in the history of porcelain. In Guise of the Rock draws on the legacy of the porcelain industry in Europe, its aspirations to elevate society through producing the most desirable of objects and the parallels with our contemporary western attitudes towards consumer goods. AJ Stockwell has lived across Scotland, England and Wales and is currently based in Cardiff. Fascinated by the slippage of materials through time and place and our shared 'material' culture, AJ interprets our human relationship with objects through borrowing languages and processes from fields such as ceramics, dentistry, mining and dance. Rooted in sculpture, AJ’s practice incorporates performance, video and text, which often form the basis for installations with re-constructed scripts or narratives. Recent exhibitions and residencies include: Standpoint Futures at Chisenhale Art Place, London; 3 day residency in The Drawing Room at Oriel Davies; UNIT(e), g39, Cardiff; Artist in Residence, elysiumgallery, Swansea; When Then is Now, The Lantern, University of Worcester partnership with Worcester Museum. Litmus is an exhibition and development programme offering curatorial and practical support for early career artists in Wales and the Welsh Borders to research, develop and present new work at Oriel Davies. Litmus is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.

Stories exist within the lifespan of every object, whether in the form of a tale around a treasured heirloom or an information panel placed next to a museum exhibit. More recently, storytelling has been adapted as a marketing tool, to allude to tradition and authenticity. This family friendly exhibition takes a more subtle approach in exploring storytelling through crafted objects. The works present multiple ways in which fictional, humorous, cultural, political and historical references can be translated into crafted objects. Twelve artists, makers and designers, selected by guest curator Onkar Kular, tell stories through objects that they have made. This includes The Welsh Space Campaign by interdisciplinary designer Hefin Jones who proposes that Wales has the capacity to explore space. His work injects Welsh culture, skills and traditions into every item needed to establish a national space campaign. Every Saturday: 11am-1pm & 2pm-3pm, one of the exhibits, Play For A Handling Collection by Cecilie Gravesen will be animated by the Gallery Guide, so that visitors can handle the objects and participate in a choreographed handling session in the gallery. Artists: Åbäke, Auger-Loizeau, Carl Clerkin, Cecilie Gravesen, El Ultimo Grito, Zhenhan Hao, Hilda Hellström, Hefin Jones, Onkar Kular, Dash MacDonald, Noam Toran, Dawn Youll The exhibition is designed by Martino Gamper and Åbäke.
