Quinces in Moroccan Bowl, on a Table
I have long been drawn to and captivated by the work of the Impressionists. They were revolutionary in their time, seeing and depicting the world through a new and different lens, with a daring way of interpreting colour, form and subject matter, using chunky brushstrokes to leave an ‘impression’ of what they saw. I love the bold representations and textured colour of Cezanne’s work and love the idea that a functional item can also double as a work of art, on display when it is out of action.
Quinces are one of my favourite fruit trees and visually, one of my favourite fruits. There’s something so romantic about a quince tree in bloom, then delicate branches bare the impressive weight of these bulging heavy, character laden fruit. The blue bowl has featured in a number of my paintings and drawings, a treasured souvenir from travels to Morocco, and is now finding it’s way onto the surface of my ceramic work. This is a free hand painting using layers of underglaze colours, some etching/linework carved into the design and decisive brush strokes.
Each platter is created using a slab rolling method and the design selected for its unique shape, no two are the same.
