Stephen Roberts: It’s the process and also the nature of clay, which allows me to make a huge range of objects. Also the chemical change that goes on when you

- [Archer Davies – 'Themes of Containment'](https://a-ch.com.au/exhibition/archer-davies/) - I have just two problems to solve in my painting – 1. To find a subject that asks a question. 2.
