The influence of context on the handmade ceramic vessel: A practice-led investigation into the potential of wheel-thrown vessels within the restaurant and art gallery environments
Abstract
My research explores the influence of context on the
interpretation and artistic
potential of the hand made ceramic vessel. My process has
involved making a
variety of objects and reflecting upon them within the context of
two specific
environments: the restaurant and the art gallery. Working in
collaboration with
two restaurants in Canberra, I explored the relationship between
the Slow
Movement and contemporary hand made ceramics. Making work for the
art
gallery context, I sought to challenge the traditional concepts
of ʻfunctionʼ and
ʻuseʼ by abstracting familiar tableware forms and surfaces. The
restaurant and
art gallery contexts offer different and unique qualities that
influence meaning
and creative potential of the ceramic vessel. My research
investigates what is
gained and what is lost in tailoring work for these two
environments.
