How, if at all, to display these little pots? Most are less than 6" (15cm) high, or even 4" (10cm). The tallest, in the 4th picture, is about 7" (18cm). Some (not shown here; they are being kept wrapped up) are very fragile.
Some of the groups look like they're posing for their photos; others are simply mingling. Sometimes they seem to be looking up at the camera/person who's looking down at them. (It's strange, how you come to look on your creations as almost-human.)
That's just one possible angle. Once my workspace is cleared I'll set up some better photos, and also start drawing them - to get to know them better, and to find a way forward with them. That's the next project - after which, or perhaps during which, I'll make some more shapes for eventual slip-dipping.
They look as if they would like some kind of box treatment - perhaps like Edmund de Waal's pieces, but with a textile lining to make the most of their textural origins?
ReplyDeleteThey are delightful, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply divine! You need to have a show of your ceramics, somewhere. The Tate, maybe??
ReplyDeleteVery easy to see them as little personalities especially the way you have grouped them & photographed them. I first saw them as various tree stumps then started to think of them as mushrooms missing their caps in a a little known chapter from Alice in Wonderland! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful The delicate look is what makes them so appealing. I hope you find a way to display them.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, when you can photograph them how you like, you could basically make up cards with the images and sell them! I think I would stand in line for one of each.
Could you just (for the fun of it) Google how to display/transport delicate ceramics? You may find a solution without reinvention!
