AMPHLORA

A re-imagined ancient amphora form, hand built in terracotta clay and painted with deconstructed fragments of leaves, waratah and wattle, broken apart and rearranged like shifting reflections.

Three small finches perch along the rim of the vessel, gathered as if in conversation. Their presence brings a sense of life and curiosity, while the vessel sits on a mirror that repeats and transforms the pattern below.

Amphlora plays with the idea that what we see is always shaped by what surrounds it.
