Ben Arnup The slab constructed ceramics are geometric, influenced by visits to Italy and the trompe l'eoil basilica floors of Venice. Larger pieces reveal the repeat patterns of the stone floors. The "impossible" structures are prompted by 20th century painters such as Vasarely and Huizer. The ceramics are handbuilt from slabs, painted with colored slips and reduction fired in a gas kiln to 1290 degrees C. The flat colors of the slips contrast with the varied texture of the wood ash glazes. |
