Tokes Sharif is a Ceramic Artist. Material-focused and working in clay, his practice examines the connection between the landscape and human interaction. 

Tokes studies the materials and narratives connected to land to inform his works. By sourcing and transforming these materials, his objects become a physical celebration of the landscape, placing a subtle but essential emphasis on its sustainability. They acts as a tangible and sensory record that preserves the landscape and the livelihoods that depend upon it.
