JONATHAN MIDDLEMISS
Jonathan Middlemiss (1949 – 2021) was an internationally renowned artist recognized for his exceptional skills in creating intricate ceramic sculptures which integrate themes of geometry, ecology, spirituality and landscape. He described his ceramic forms and paintings as openings to different experiences of nature, using sensory immersion in the landscape as the foundation of his work.

Jonathan’s personal philosophy explored maps of consciousness that offer portals to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states that arise from engagement with nature. This metaphysical relationship used different visual languages to express sensory experiences in different mediums, most notably clay. He often used natural materials such as stone, wood, and metal in his work, applying pastel and charcoal in his dynamic and evocative paintings.
