February 28, 2021 – still in lockdown, but loving this exploration of a coffee set made 80 years ago in a Nazi- occupied Czechoslovakian village during WWII.
I wanted to honour the spout! Beautifully designed curves, detailed with hand painted gilded lines over the white porcelain. By now this pot is a living thing that I get to know more each time I paint it.
I love the way this spout becomes itself as it rises through the textures into the light. The cup feels like a punctuation in that story. The strong lines in the chaotic ground give this piece a kind of …time I think. They rise upward and to the right, anchored by the forms.
