Firstsite, Colchester, is delighted to present Legacy: Two Works on Hope and Memory, an exhibition that brings together work by ceramic artists Julian Stair and Clare Twomey.

For Stair and Twomey, clay is a material that is deeply embedded in human existence, and one that enables them to explore social and cultural processes of exchange and consumption, memory and preservation, and ritual and touch.
