Fold 4

Separate elements are combined to create this sculpture. The folded layer ring that wraps around the vessels is assembled from stacked Parian porcelain spheres that are thrown, compressed, stacked and cut. The gradation of colour is added using body stain before throwing. The extracted core from the cut stack is reused to create the precise nesting of vessels within the interior space. These combined elements of the sculpture alludes to the theme of duality – the contrast of visual distortion and precision, the stillness and movement in form and the surface deception between synthetic and natural.
