Ceramic memories

Hey, hope your having a good evening. As I was saying last week about thinking of making ceramic moulds or the shells I collected in Cornwall. I found this artist: Anita Pullan on
http://www.artsthread.com/viewer/project.aspx?pj=8417&p=2475

This lady is created pieces based on her memories or being a. daughter, ssister, wife and mother. She uses visual association, her skill and contextual ability. This piece comes her works exploration of 'maternal memorabilia to compensate for the transience of childhood.'

She uses slip cast, pressmoulds to produce pieces made of porcelain and bone china to which she then works on top with gold flakes. Making her visual memories preious objects econmically. I really like them, they remind me of the lace bits with slip casted and fired.
What do you think girlies??

  1. Beautiful,pure and fragile..i cant help but admire the attention to detail and the time it must have taken to create these pieces.
    the material adds to the vunerability of the keepsakes that families treasure and hold dear.
    The porcelin gives it a very "angelic" feeling as its so white,whereas our liquid clay experiments look very tainted compared to this!
