Forgotten II (detail)
2008 Merino Fleece, various yarns |
|
This series of pieces has been based on those plants and grasses 'forgotten' and growing naturally at the side of the road. They are to be found on abandoned wasteland, spare ground and in unkempt gardens. Surprising diversity and vitality can be seen flourishing here and Forgotten portrays the beauty displayed by these wild and unruly grasses. Agnis has used weaving and felting before gathering, to capture a sense of the movement and interaction of the grasses when affected by the wind. |

Ceramic Vessel (detail)
2008 Porcelain, underglaze paints, glaze |
|
These ceramic vessels were created using a highly textured five piece mould. The texture which can be seen on these vessels comes from first creating a cardboard mould into which plaster is poured, this plaster block is then used to create the mould for each cast. Creating a cardboard mould allows large amounts of fine detail and surface texture to be present on the final vessels as well as interesting and unique shapes to be formed. The porcelain cast is then decorated using underglaze paints and pencils before light coloured glaze is added. The shape of the vessels along with the added decoration was inspired by several old chairs. The patterns/lines and shapes of the chairs as well as the colours found in the fabric have been translated onto the surface of the vessel. |
