A beautifully crafted bowl in steel, vitreous enamel and sgraffito layers. The interior has a matt, abraded surface, while the exterior surface mirrors that of glass.
The bowl has become an important vehicle for me to express stored thoughts, writing and feelings. It contains, cups, gives a sense of gentle containment in a changing world. It is a quiet archive of thoughts, stories and metaphors that can move from one form to another.
One of a series, this bowl speaks of movement, absence and rhythms. The insides are inscribed with fine lines and have a matt, abraded surface; the outsides are a beautiful, rich, glassy black.
