Tranquil Recollections

The intricacy and detail observed in sea-shells gathered along the shoreline provided the starting point for this work. Like Faberge eggs, these objects are rich in luxurious embellishment, exuding preciousness. Through harnessing the natural translucency of porcelain with the introduction of light and stoneware glaze, my work aims to sensitively reflect these natural and exquisite characteristics of pattern and surface, emphasising the jeweled quality on natural form and elevating to the status of precious object. 

Designed to fit within the domestic context, these luminated objects introduce a harmonious and aesthetic focal point. The reflection of warm light on intricate surface promotes tranquility, evoking the feelings of a stroll along the beach at sunset.
