These are two Chinese words, 发福, made into calligraphy pottery sculpture. It is interesting how the 2 dimensional words is transformed into 3D with the expressive action of the brush strokes.
The words 发福 originally meant the blossoming of fortune, a blessing that can be related to 发财 the blossoming of money, as in KUNG HEI “FAT CHOI”. Nowadays, the words 发福 refers to the putting on weight during the middle age. A tease in disguise of a blessing.

For the Something Old Something New joint event, a bottle with lid in real gold and blue barium glaze finish (not food safe). Wheel thrown in one piece, lid is then cut from the body. Gold is applied after the stoneware firing, refire to a lower temperature of 750 C.
This dream like bottle made me think of Calvino’s Invisible City.

The joint venture with Soil and Cobo is still on till the end of the month, if you are interested in contemporary pottery come and take a look!
For me, these candle shades are like a father and son having a conversation with each other.
These candle shades are unglazed white stoneware, wheel thrown and then distorted, they are then carefully hand carved to get the openings for light.
