Description
Pigeons made from casts of Victorian Thistle and Beaded clay pipe bowls mounted upon contemporary plastic packaging base.
Flatback Figures The discarded object, whether it be a vintage domestic item, a mudlarked find loaded with meaning, even a piece of plastic packaging are all relevant to my process; to make comment on mass consumerism within contemporary society. I employ the found object by first casting it to make a press mould. My Flatbacks narratives can be a time consuming process, made of anything up to fifty separate elements using Creamware, press moulded, animated and joined at the leather-hard stage. To reinforce the language of the past, I make my own lead-rich glazes from a traditional formula with high bisque, low glost firing.
