Essence

This series grew out of my work with the Reaching series and my work in Jingdezhen, China in 2013. These are wedged agateware porcelain (coloured porcelains that I have made from pigments) thrown, altered, “stretched”, bisqued, then glazed and allowed to “fall” in the kiln into their final forms. They are composed of primary and/or tertiary colours and intended to represent the essence of an individual, continuing on the theme of “soul sketches” which I started at Sheridan in 2011.
