Balancing Bowls contrasts and raises questions around forms, materials, notions of solidity and function. The solid silver bowls seem to hover over the dark rectangular bases. Although secured, the bowls can be moved or rocked slightly. Balancing Bowl 3 (centre) was acquired for the Victoria and Albert Museum’s permanent collection in 2017.

Pair plays with the notions of inside and outside and especially the threshold that lies between the two. Very similar in form but each subtly different, the pieces have an ambivalent relationship to the ideas of “in” and “out”, both within themselves and between each other. As with much of Juliette’s work, the piece comprises the spaces in between as much as the forms themselves.

To what extent can a familiar object be taken apart and put back together again and still remain familiar to us? The Split Bowls collection explores just this, dismantling and reforming the ever-present shape of the bowl. Originally a set of six, this collection has expanded to incorporate bowls of different sizes, materials and functions.

Vessel Scape takes traditional vessel forms, abstracts them through the use of solid forms and arranges them like a collection of buildings. Thus arranged, these everyday objects change and their scale and appearance are transformed from a domestic to an architectural object.
