Title: Nature in Clay

Family is the inspiration for this piece, depicted through the use of five place settings. Utilising leaves, and stems from my garden and dipped in paper porcelain. I explore and encourage randomness, the unexpected and unpredictable effects when the firing these objects bring. These cast fascinating shadows.

Particular emphasis is on the serving spoon which evokes the strong family memories of my Mum.

The fragility of the forms hides the strength of these pieces. In the exhibition, I am planning on hanging these place settings, as if a table were set, but no table. I also hope to have light from the window as the natural light will cast shadows from the pieces, which will add to my piece.
