ANGIE HARLOCK WILKINSON
Angie has her roots in the Cotswolds and Devon where she grew up, She now works in her studio in the village of Otterton, drawing on her familiar and much loved sea- and country-side for inspiration for her work.
She seeks to explore, in her sculptures of the human figure, the way feelings and moods reveal themselves through form, gesture and movement. She tries to express the free and joyous spirit in human nature in the loose forms of her dancers and nymphs. Angie also strives to show our more interior, contemplative moods, in quiet, inwardly engaged figures, such as those she loves in the paintings of Vermeer, Picasso, and the Pre-Raphaelites.
Angie lived in Cambridge for many years after graduating from Clare College, where she studied German and French from 1974 to 1978, and taught modern languages for a number of years in local Cambridge schools, while busy raising her son and daughter.
In 2000, she started to devote more time to her teenage passion, sculpting.
After several years of creating sculptures in wax, and having them cast in bronze, Angie has recently started to work in clay, and fires her unique pieces in her own kiln at home.
