Szilvassy Ceramic Vessel 007 - Red Tenmoku (Large)

Szilvassy is the ceramic studio of artist Shari Lowndes. Based in Melbourne, Australia, her work endeavours to blur the lines between artefact and everyday object. Working predominantly with clay, Shari’s work draws upon a deep connection to land and heritage, where each piece is embedded with a narrative of human connection and emotive form. This curated body of work is a collection from Szilvassy’s Aether and Forma series, comprising of wheel-thrown cups, jars, vessels and dishes. 

This particular piece is from Szilvassy’s latest series Forma, where five glaze colours are applied to varying ceramic forms. The process for arriving at the final colour was not rationalised through a particular system, rather chosen for its immediate emotional qualities. Each colour has multiple relationships and are not limited to a specific source; whether a memory, a feeling, a place, or an object.

Ceramic Vessel 007 measures 18cm diameter x 24cm high.
