Sacred Dance II - nature-inspired, hand-shaped porcelain clay sculpture
By Paula Murray

Artist Paula Murray’s work is rooted in her spiritual journey and expressed in the uniquely beautiful ceramics she creates. Sacred Dance is a series of porcelain vessels—the undulating curves of each formed using her own clay recipe.
This elegant blush-coloured vessel has visible darker fine markings that add detail and depth to the piece.
“Clay vessels have a long history and can be read as a metaphorical symbol of life, holding a sacred space.” Paula Murray
