Constellation- tiny universe

A$110.00

I made 29 of these tiny porcelain bowls in a piece called “Constellations “ for the solo exhibition “Skyways “ at the University of Southern QLD in May. I wanted to capture all the glimpses of the Milky Way you have had, glancing at the sky as you open the front door, sitting outside under the stars looking up, waking in the early morning and staring at the stars through you bedroom window, the first, strange glimpse of the stars when you travel far from home and the familiar rush of beauty as your home stars are above when you return, a handheld kaleidoscope of starlight.

There are 15 tiny constellations left. Each one is unique. If you have one you will be one of only 29 people in the world who have a small universe they can hold in their hand.

This is a lucky dip. Each constellation is wrapped and numbered, the right one will find you.

Thrown porcelain, underglaze, glaze, terra sigilata, glaze stain

Approx 4 cm h x 8 cm w x 8 cm d
