these are other new vases that i designed for the GUMP’S floral show. i love just the hint of colour and i wanted the flowers to look like they were falling from the sky. these pieces are coil built and are very time consuming. it is an extremely slow process, but this is the technique that made me fall in love with ceramics. i love being in that mesmerizing *coil building zone* . . . there is almost nothing better.

i was asked to be in a group show at the historic san francisco store, GUMP’S. the show is entitled “floral inspired: celebrating the relationship between design and nature” and will feature 16 artists. since i work best under pressure + deadlines, this was the perfect challenge: to come up with new work in a short amount of time. and tricky since i don’t use flowers in my work, nor do i have many vases in my repertoire.

this is what transpired: i used words having to do with flowers, nature, and vessels . . . and i snuck a flower deep inside the vase, sort of like a secret garden.

. . . and to fully gump’s-ify this work, i added a touch of gold to the back of the vase. and so was born the “botany vase.”
(i also got a little sunset magazine love here.)

the opening reception is april 22nd
5:30 – 7:30
