Sculpture / Non Functional

Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.

This earthenware Sea Globe has been inspired by the connection between land, sea and the reflective quality of the late afternoon light on the water. Finished with a turquoise and green infused glaze with golden shards and white rippling inlays contrast again matt and glossy black and aventurine tones.

I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase).
