This is by Tara Wilson. I really enjoyed her work in the 'Atmospheric' show at Sarah Spurgeon. I like the colors she uses and the organic symmetry. This vase in particular looks a little like two people facing each other
This is also by Tara Wilson. It's very similar to the last piece except for the long elegant handles. Again, they sort of look like human bodies to me. I like the imperfections that she designs into them, like how the one on the right isn't perfectly straight.
This is Oribe from sixteenth century Japan. Oribe is characterized by taking standard pottery forms and deliberately distorting them in order to find new aesthetics directions. I like this piece because it's unexpected, it doesn't remind me of anything, which I gather is part of the point.
This wasn't on the list of artists but I really like it. It's by Gwendolyn Yoppolo. I like how the bowl on the left is designed with a specific function in mind. Although I don't know exactly what that function is.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Gwendolyn Yoppolo piece! I want to look at more of her work. I think it's beautiful yet functional. I can see it as a family style soup or possibly a dessert type function.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colors she used
