Upon Reflection at Sir John Soane's Museum, London
Ceramic, Glaze, Marble.
The shock of the contrast between the calm exterior and the excess of the interior world of the Sir John Soane Museum was my inspiration for this work.
I decided to create a vase which would be cut in half, with its interior only visible through a mirror; the effects created by mirrors throughout the house is something I greatly admire.
The interior world of my vase is distorted and exaggerated, rather like the effect of a fish-eye lens.
I hope that the piece is almost missed at first, its shape and colour blending into the surroundings, and then
upon closer inspection, so much more is revealed.
