Jin Eui Kim:
Looking at these works make you dizzy. I talked to the artist and he said his ceramics are about challenging perceptions of reality. I had to touch them to see if the surfaces were smooth or whether they are ridged, following the line of the decoration - they are ridged. I had to touch the black dots in the middle to see if there is a hole there - there is not. So, most of these are not vessels, but sculptures.
The lid in these jars is reversible - you can see both ways of using them in the two jars here.
Bridget Drakeford:
some lovely things here...I love Eddie Curtis' work...wonder how he gets those textures?
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly, Avril, how does he do it? I have spoken to him in the past about his work, and he talks about inspiration (did you look at the links I provided in this post? The third one is about the series Blast which I think is very interesting) but not about technique. I always look forward to seeing his work.
