This series of porcelain sculptures captures the changing hues of light through different time frames. In essence - painting light in 3D, with porcelain. My work focuses on light and shadow and the starting point for this work was my Grandfather Silvester's beautiful hand carved mantle shelf which sits above the fireplace in my dining room. The words 'POST TENEBRAS LUX’ and their meaning 'Light After Darkness’ fascinated me as a child and took on even greater significance after our world's shared experience over the last two extraordinary years. Like creatures thrown into darkness we have begun to emerge back into daylight. As always, colour is worked into the porcelain body and the surface and edge ripples come from pressing the porcelain onto moulds of folded origami. The porcelain is unglazed and fired right through to 1248ºC. |
A series of peaceful and contemplative porcelain works-
∙ Day Break - the dawn light breaks
∙ Day's End - golden hour leads into sunset
∙ The Midnight Hour - the moon's light breaks through the clouds
∙ From Dawn to Dusk - the changing light of a summer's day and night.
∙ Dappled Light - sunshine filtering through the overhead leaves
∙ Eclipse - light, then shadow, as the moon is eclipsed
∙ Light Shards - fine porcelain tiles, subtle highlights of 24 carat gold, encased in resin and mounted on a heavy wooden block
∙ Day Break - the dawn light breaks
∙ Day's End - golden hour leads into sunset
∙ The Midnight Hour - the moon's light breaks through the clouds
∙ From Dawn to Dusk - the changing light of a summer's day and night.
∙ Dappled Light - sunshine filtering through the overhead leaves
∙ Eclipse - light, then shadow, as the moon is eclipsed
∙ Light Shards - fine porcelain tiles, subtle highlights of 24 carat gold, encased in resin and mounted on a heavy wooden block

Here you can see how the porcelain and its shadows change depending on the lighting - 'Day Break', 'Day's End' and 'Midnight' in daylight and night-time overhead light. The standing sphere in the second image is a front-on view of 'Eclipse'.
