Inspiration

This ceramic sculpture continues upon a series of sculptures made by stacking spheres thrown on the potters wheel.

There is a spontaneous action to this process that I enjoy, I let the clay sphere full by its own gravity to create these distortions to the whole form. It is a way for me to construct an organic form and create an inner space to peer through.

It is an abject about form and space, capturing a moment in time. Like many of my key principles, it is created to evoke curiosity, to free your imagination.

I kept the colours simple, sticking to just revealing the white of the porcelain and contrasting this with a deep crystallised speckled purple glaze that I purchased from Japan whilst I was doing a residency. The purple glaze runs down into the clear glaze adding to the appeal of this melting form.
