Child's Play, 2018

Porcelain and white stoneware

​

This body of work is a reflection of the ability to experiment with unique textures and challenging the process of throwing larger vessels. I aimed to explore and expand upon the application of glaze to create immense variation within a single vessel referencing the initial components of my work, The Crater 2018, previously exhibited at the Gosford Ceramic Prize of November 2018.

​

The consideration into the dynamic energy between the playful and innocent rubber duck and the traditionally shaped vessel in combination is a humorous comment on the nostalgia presented to both childhood and the glorified objects within a museum context. The engagement between the distorted vessels and the audience should be playful and elegant as the pieces come together in a light-hearted harmony.
