'Hexagon Kaleidoscope'
Porcelain Droplet Wall Art
This mama is truly one of a kind. She was inspired by using a similar technique, glazing the coloured droplets, on a large porcelain vase I made. She has had multiple firings to achieve the finished look and a kaleidoscope of glazes have been used. There is a lot of depth in the droplets and they feel wonderful to touch.
She concaves in the centre, this allows the light to bounce around the droplets emphasising the glazed shine. When looking straight at the piece she isn't perfectly symmetrical, but honestly I think that is part of her charm, a true one off.
A three-dimensional 100% porcelain wall piece, including the wall hanging system on the reverse of the piece. The piece is a celebration of all things colour and the joy colour can bring.
I’ve been quietly working away mixing pigments into porcelain for years (See ‘Strength’ an artist residency I undertook in the USA in 2013) and my love for the colours achieved continues to grow. The ritual has developed over time and since 2023 has found its home in making coloured droplets, they look like smarties, and with a smooth finish, are incredibly tactile. I make wall and free-standing pieces using these repetitive forms in multiples. Ideas continues to develop and fuel me with excited exploration.
Colour can be so uplifting and has the power to impact your mood. The ebbs and flows of colour in nature, grey clouds verse sunny days, can be mirrored by that of our feelings and internal monologues.
The magic of heat transforms the colours- you never quite know how each colour will come out.
