• Umbrellas by Richard Slee

  Richard Slee is one of Britain’s best known ceramic artists. His beautifully crafted works commonly
  embrace a wide variety of imagery to which he adds his own wry sense of humour.
   
  His work Umbrellas alludes to the city of London as a workplace in days gone by when city gents carried
  a smart rolled umbrella and dressed uniformly for work. His own ceramic umbrellas are, of course useless
  but can be seen as a symbol of how the nature of work has changed in modern London.
  One of the umbrellas takes the form of a giant carrot which, together with the integral stick, wittily addresses the nature of work.
