Ion's stoneware lamp bases are fired in her grandmother's kilm, with forms inspired by the 'flotsam and jetsam of the wild Hebridean coastlines,' as she describes. 'The forms are not direct representations of what I find, but are an essence of my experiences and observations.' We love them for their anthropomorphic strangeness and pleasing heft. They resemble something almost familiar but otherworldly, washed-up on the beach after a force nine gale.
