Description
This original handmade bowl is crafted in terracotta in a contemporary slipware style, blending traditional ceramic technique with modern artistic expression. Its surface is overlaid with a collage of photographic imagery taken along the Solway Coast — a place of shifting tides, wildlife, and open horizons.
The imagery is carefully composed into a grid-like rhythm, interrupted by translucent circular overlays, evoking both memory and fragmentation. This design reflects themes of solastalgia — the feeling of longing and loss for a changing environment, and the deep emotional connection between people and place.
More than a functional vessel, this bowl is a piece of contemporary art: a meditation on landscape, belonging, and the fragile relationship between humans and nature.
