Graeme wilkie has been motivated by a long and passionate relationship with creat ivity. This year the ceramic artist and owner of qdos gallery lorne graeme wilkie created large unique sculptural forms in clay. This was an annual event for 10 years. Throughout my artistic career the skills and techniques i had to acquire are now secondary to the task.
