Textures of Time

Helen's signature ‘lenticular, moiré ceramic' style - ‘shifting and moving surface effects' - is created by using stained black clay screen printed onto plaster batts, contrasting with white porcelain casting slip. By forming a textured, wafer-thin sheet of clay into an upright, oval cylinder and attaching a base, the translucency of the material enables light to shine through the vessel's wall.
