Black & White Ikebana vases, monumental and small, 2021

HAND-BUILT WHITE RAKU, BLACK SLIP, WHITE GLAZES
19 cm
These are the black and white configurations in my Ikebana vase series. The monumental size and small size.
I'm a ceramicist that slip-casts vessels and hand-builds sculptures. Using craft and art processes and thinking, I test the limits of gravity, colour and texture in complex ceramic forms. I joyfully celebrate the sensuality of clay, glaze chemicals, airbrushing, experimental slips, terra‐sigillata’s and textured glazes, while also interrogating the “loaded” context of ‘landscape’ in Australia.
My new vessels, Nouveau and Ikebana, and my hand-built sculptures are a result of 3 years of research in developing my underglaze recipes, airbrushing techniques and glaze recipes.
