Inspiration
Up to now I have been making ceramic sculpture that was precise in the way it is constructed.
I wanted to try a new approach to the making process, it was process I experimented with briefly at the Bone China Symposium 2020 at the Department of Ceramics and Porcelain at the Kaunas Faculty of Vilnius Academy of Art in Lithuania. The process involved staking spheres thrown on the potters wheel in a spontaneous way.
There is a nice feeling to letting go and letting the process takeover, although having said that I tried to also be conscious of my actions. Using this process let folds and tears appear revealing the nature of the porcelain.
Within this form I wanted to convey a sense of gravity and distortion, to let the characteristics of the clay take over.
I titled this porcelain sculpture "Warp Drive" as it got me thinking about science fiction were spaceships can travel faster than the speed of light. The colour also suggests some outer space like quality.
