Hybrids
Over time my work has become about giving attention to something ignored.
By chance I acquired a collection of vintage plaster moulds of animals and traditional figurines from the 80's and 90's
I explore the idea of taking the familiar and reworking them imagining a new narrative.
They represent acceptance and quiet evolution from something shunned into something magical and precious.
Each piece is cast in porcelain, cut, altered and pieces added then painted and glazed in different colours with mother o pearl and gold lustres added in a third firing.
