Angela is drawn to the coiling process, revered as an ancient technique that carries a sense of history and timelessness.
Angela Tier is a visual artist who transforms clay into deeply personal hand built art works that honour memory, ritual and human connection. Angela sees her sculptures as stories told through clay. Her conceptual sculptures investigate imbalances between humans and nature.
Using the traditional coiling technique, she carefully stacks and joins each coil of clay to create urns and vessels that echo ancient forms. Both art and artifact, her sculptural works are quiet meditations on form, presence and memory.

Independent New Zealand Artist Angela Tier, continually explores universal experiences such as loss, grief and fear through her fine sculptures. Angela’s sculptural works are hand built using the coiling technique, in which coils of clay are gradually stacked and joined one on top of the other. “I like working in the coils as it's a very old technique.”
