Mirage
vases arose from a drawing investigating form and pattern in light
and dark. The vase explores the relationship between perspective
and perception. By depicting a two dimensional image in three dimensional
form, mirage vases appear to exist in a dimension of their very
own. Being neither entirely two or three dimensional they seem to
resist belonging to either. |

Illusional
Vessels focus on the pottery depicted in still-life paintings, drawings,
photographs. In ‘Still-life’ pieces I have brought the
vessel out from the 2dimensional plane and made it 3dimensional
again; the illusion of depth applied to flattened form. It is a
3dimensional painting of a vessel. |

Figurative Works. Many pottery terms are named after parts of the
body, as in shoulder, neck, belly, foot. This led me to apply the
illusion of human female form, with line and shade, to fit the
ceramic vessel, in a series called ‘Vase becoming Nude’. |
