This parian porcelain vessel sculpture is created from layers of thrown air tight clay spheres that are compressed and stacked one on top of the other to reveal surface tension. Colour lines are added to the surface using slip, profile and brush before the compression. The stack is then cut through using a cylinder cutting tool. The cut forces further distortion to the stacked form and creates an opposing precise interior surface in reference to a vessel.

This sculpture is created by following a specific making process of repetition, compression and cut. Each layer is formed from thrown spheres of Parian porcelain that are compressed and sliced to record tension and movement. The final form is the result of combining the compressed elements to create a flowing figurative sculpture that explores the duality of distortion and precision.

Separate elements are combined to create this sculpture. The folded layer ring that wraps around the vessels is assembled from stacked Parian porcelain spheres that are thrown, compressed, stacked and cut. The gradation of colour is added using body stain before throwing. The extracted core from the cut stack is reused to create the precise nesting of vessels within the interior space. These combined elements of the sculpture alludes to the theme of duality – the contrast of visual distortion and precision, the stillness and movement in form and the surface deception between synthetic and natural.

Layers of thrown, incised, compressed and stacked Parian porcelain spheres shape this vessel sculpture. Part of an ongoing series of work that explores applying fixed processes to making, this piece incorporates the gradation of colour and bulging burst white spheres throughout the stacked assembly of the form. The precise cylindrical interior includes a separate vessel insert that lifts the stack from the base.
