This work came from wanting to put my experience of a relationship into an energetic, moving form. I am exploring the figure in an abstracted way, using the vessel shape as a means of visual language from ceramic art history to give a sense of character. Including all the classic parts of a vessel relating to human form gives my vessel distinct personality; foot, body, shoulder, neck, lip. The title of this work is taken from the opening of the 1970’s Australian tv soap Prisoner Cell Block H. Days are counted as primal notches on a symbolic circle with no end. The use of green in the work is a reference to the rose vine that has withered. The form is fragmented, broken, unravelling, and spinning into nonexistence.
