About The Artwork

This sculptural, ornamental stoneware vessel synthesises the familiar silhouette of the classical urn with biomorphic shapes and textures inspired by sea shells and corals. Two stylised cross sections of the shell of “Harpago Chiragra”, commonly known as the Spider Conch form flamboyant handles, whilst the fluting of the main body is reminiscent of the familiar fluting of scallop and clam shells. The overall effect is of a contemporary biomorphic sculpture with the order and symmetry of a classical artefact, balancing the organic vigour of marine nature with a more considered architectural formality. The bronze studio glazed finish is given an opulent, partially weathered appearance by the considered application of bronze tinted silver leaf, accentuated by contrasting splashes or turquoise at the extremities, giving it a contemporary flare.

I am a freelance ceramic artist living and working in London. I design, create and sell handmade ceramic pieces inspired by my own experiences and interests, as well as taking commissions, which I produce from my bright and modern garden studio. I was a full time 16-18 art teacher for many years, before deciding to devote more of my time and effort to my own creative practice.
