About the Item

Emma Bell Coral I Original Installation Artwork Ceramics Framed Size: H 73cm x W 73 cm x D 7cm Sold Framed in a Teal Wooden Frame (Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look.) Coral I is an original artwork by Emma Bell. Emma Bell’s ceramic and porcelain pot frame is an installation piece. Emma Bell says: This piece is inspired by my glaze test vessels. As a potter, I am always staggered by how differently similar glazes turn out on different clay bodies when it has been fired. Emma Bell studied ceramics at the University College of Ripon & York St John and graduated with a first class honours degree. After the intervening years in which she raised her children, she has now returned to the studio. She is a wheel-based potter, working mainly in stoneware and porcelain. Her present work is defined by simplicity and purity of form and possesses an organic quality which creates a sense of quietness and calm. The search is for symmetry and balance in design, whilst at the same time quietly pushing to the limits the possibilities of the material. In the process a tension is created between the two – the desired shape of the piece and the fineness and fragility of the clay. It is not unusual for Bell’s to work at the wheel with her eyes closed, relying on touch alone to know instinctively when the optimum point has been reached. There is a constant interaction of sight and touch, the visual and the tactile. In her bottle series, the design is often extended and elongated beyond the point which can reasonably be sustained by the clay without distortion or collapse- it is at this point that the piece will be completed by hand. It is all about gently advancing balance and boundaries and exploring the techniques which will take the piece to reach its full potential. Emma Bell’s present work is first and foremost about strong form. She uses soft, matt glazes with minimal decoration. There is nothing which can distract the eye from the clean, quiet lines which characterize her work.
