Capriccio wall piece

This handmade artefact works as a plate and a wall piece. It is achieved by combining painting and reverse monoprinting. Elke describes this process as a fusion between abstract painting and ceramics. She paints with coloured slips on a plaster block and then pours white earthenware casting slip on it. The colours and clay stick together and can be removed as a slab from the plaster and then she assembles cut-outs to create her specific design.
