Description
This original handmade functional bowl is crafted in terracotta in a contemporary slipware style, blending traditional ceramic technique with modern artistic expression. Its surface is overlaid with an images taken along the Solway Coast — a place of shifting tides, wildlife, and open horizons.
The imagery are silk screen transfers taken from original photographs 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.
