ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This sculptural centre-piece deals with a spiritual theme, of the centrality of Christ , "the tree of life". here you see a woman with 2 heads, pulling in opposite directions....looking for answers. The one face is happy and the other sad...speaking of the yo-yo like emotions we face daily as humans. Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down, but the 'tree of life' in the centre, between the 2 heads is solid, central and sturdy and brings life. It gives a home to the birds. The tree is growing out of the "living water", see the fish swimming about . The tree and the water are christian symbols of Christ, the one who can bring stability, peace, healing and purpose to our lives. But our natural inclination is to pull away and to cling to our independence, fighting the tug of war in our minds about what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' instead of yielding to the One who takes away confusion.

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)
