Title: Go 10

Artist: Anne Hirondelle

Moving from a career in functional ceramic production towards contemporary, sculptural art forms, Hirondelle produces elegantly composed and minimal works that meditate on and deconstruct the structural component of the vessel — the poetic scope of ‘Go 10’ is easily equatable to contemporary functional earthenware as early Modernist marriages of style & shape, the artist often throwing complete bowls then cutting and reducing them down. The use of bright acrylic paint intends to contrast with the dull earthen tone of the natural ceramic, Hirondelle offering a simple comparison of internal and external surface.
