Arnold used Limoges porcelain to create this almost translucent parabola-shaped vessel, reduction-fired in a gas kiln at 1330°C. Delicate porcelain thorns cover the exterior. The vessel has been left unglazed, allowing the pure natural white colour of the porcelain to shine through.

This parabola-shaped vessel is made from slip-cast Limoges porcelain. The slip is left in the plaster mould for about one minute, resulting in a 2mm-thick wall. The surface of the bowl is then heated with a gas burner, which causes immediate evaporation. Small, glowing porcelain shreds fly off the surface. This process is repeated, layer by layer, until the wall is perforated or almost perforated in places, giving it a wafer-like thinness and translucency.

Arnold has created a universe of eerily organic forms. This huge spiky sculpture was assembled from thrown porcelain parts. Cork and charcoal were added to the mixture, giving it a slightly grey tone. The form was inspired by radiolarians, microscopic living creatures with mineral skeletons.

This translucent bowl is made from slip-cast Limoges porcelain, reduction-fired in a gas kiln at 1330°C. The slip is left in the plaster mould for one to two minutes, resulting in a 2mm-thick wall. The parabola-shaped bowl is then worked on a potter’s wheel, where it is given its final texture. It has been left unglazed, allowing the pure natural white colour of the porcelain to shine through.

Arnold’s Nassellaria series is composed of amphorae-shaped sculptures with different-sized circular holes spread over the surface. The sculptures rest on their sides and have different levels of transparency. The forms are irregular, like skeletons, and create a complex system of shadows.
