Drift Solo Exhibition 2022

Pod 1 and Atmosphere 1

Drift 2022

The exhibition Drift presents a development of forms thrown on the wheel. In the Pod series the form is altered as the clay is still in a very plastic state. The Torsion series exhibits deeply textured surfaces which were achieved by applying strong torque to the inside only. As the clay is stretched into a sphere, fissured diamond-shaped patterns form on the surface - this occurs quite rapidly; there is no carving or other surface treatment once the piece has been thrown. Thus, the spiral texture forms as a result of this throwing technique.

The works are made of either Southern Ice porcelain or coarse, dark, iron-rich, blended stoneware clays. Many of the works were gas reduction fired to achieve the various surface finishes from the dark metallic surfaces to the pale ice blue qingbai glaze. All works were high fired to 1280°C - 1300°C and are thus watertight.

The exhibition also features a work-specific Ikebana arrangement by Sogetsu Ikebana teacher Vernisher Wooh.

Ikebana

Several of the works were purchased for use with Ikebana arrangements and examples of current and previous works may be seen on the Ikebana page.

Surface Treatments

Southern Ice Porcelain

The porcelain works feature a wide range of glazes from the rich blue-black of a tsuki-yo glaze and the black tenmoku glazes to the pale celadons, ice blue qingbai and mint green matte crystalline glazes.

For more images and further information on the nature, origins and qualities of porcelain, including Southern Ice porcelain, see the Southern Ice porcelain page.

Colour Changing Glazes

This exhibition features some recently developed colour changing matte macro crystalline glazes. The glaze on Porcelain Double Walled Vessel 4, the cone cup and on the necks of Atmosphere 4 and 5 change colour according to lighting conditions - yellow/green in daylight and orange/pink under some types of artificial light. The shallow bowl is yellow in daylight, but a bright pink under artificial light, hence the name of this glaze 'Sakura by Night'.

Dark Stoneware

The exterior surfaces of many of these works are unglazed. The subtly iridescent metallic surfaces were achieved by fluxing the clay body and firing in strong reduction. Black or white Southern Ice porcelain slips were applied to some of the pieces.
