| Tall Vessels priced from $240. |
Blurring the line between functional and sculptural,
Nelson based, self-taught potter and painter Amber Smith has a fondness for
tall forms, “grouped together they represent whanau,” she comments. My vessels are the canvas “on which I paint and draw”
she shares, “etching back into the soft unfired surface of the clay. I don’t
used moulds or stamps to reproduce my work, so every one is unique in form and
function.
Each work is fired twice, with applications of oxides
and glazes between firings. “The imagery and
words are my own exploration of my wairoa (spirit),and what it means to come
from Aoteroa.”
