Hidden Treasure
About Me
- Katie Jane Shaw
- United Kingdom
- I am currently a student in my 3rd year studying BA (HONS) Ceramics at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. My work is based on hidden treasures found under the sea; therefore I have been highly inspired by shipwrecks and coral. I found coral very inspirational in the way the natural form lives and attaches to different objects. I want my work to look as if it has been taken over by a natural from. The base of the form has been made by slip casting however I really wanted to get more involved and make it my own, so I used Handbuilding to create the organic feel of the coral taking over the piece. The coral is the treasure taking over the forms, degrading in the bottom of the sea.
stunning!
ReplyDeleteI can see my piece is there!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing it on my shelf!
Your work is fantastic, Katie! Were I not an impoverished student, I'd definitely be purchasing one of the frames - they are so beautiful. Well done on a well displayed show,
