About The Artwork

This sculpture is made using stoneware clay and painted using underglazes and fired with a transparent glaze. The piece is speaking about the human condition of 'survival', where we reach that critical moment where something has to change or we just give in to the circumstance and allow fate to determine the outcome. Our natural inclination as humans is to 'survive' at all costs. Often pain and hardship push us into a corner where there is no option but to "jump out of the sinking boat"....that's if one can ! This is an original creation that developed intuitively in response to my own personal situation...possibly because of the Covid 19 pandemic that has pushed many of us artists into "survival mode". The theme of this piece is depicted in a light hearted, whimsical manner but yet holds a weighty sentiment.

Tiffany seeks to combine beauty, emotion and visual storytelling in her works, exploring her subjectivity and connecting with her understanding of the world. She draws inspiration from the natural world and the complexities of the human condition. In her recent work she seeks to highlight the intricate relationships between human beings and their environment, as well as the deep spiritual connections within ourselves and with the world around us. Her ceramic creations develop intuitively and shine a light on important cultural conversations, connecting the current situation with traditional and spiritual values and beliefs. Through the medium of clay, she constructs her sculptures using the ‘press-molding technique’ in combination with hand building techniques. The use of colored under-glazes and glazes are considered carefully for each piece. Her ceramic work is glaze fired to stoneware temperature. (1200 ‘C)
