The Virgin - Deconstructed Vessel

This deconstructed vessel is a response to a medieval painting of the Virgin, which is on permanent display in the Frederic Mares Museum, in Montblanc, the location of Dameon Lynn's first solo show after moving to Spain. A series of symmetrical forms are thrown on the potter's wheel, torn and flattened into slabs and used to make a new form through the technique of deconstruction. The surface has a stone like finish achieved by applying a dark glaze to the textures; layers of a porcelain-based slip are then built up on the surface giving depth. Once fired, the surface is then smoothed with silicone carbide paper resulting in very soft and tactile finish.
