This post is in response to some of the questions I have
been asked since my five pots went on display at the British Ceramics Biennial
as part of the Award Show 2013.
The following links will take you to more images of the pots
and some of the events and stories that prompted me to make them.
The above image is a selection of five of my pots at the Potteries Museum and
Art Gallery in Stoke on Trent. From left to right the pots are: Travelling
West, St. Mark of the Farm, Pageant, Nothing Like a Kiss, (slightly in front
and lower down,) and, far right, ‘Remembering Atefeh.’
Travelling West
Travelling West was made especially for BCB and has yet to
be photographed by itself. I have written a post, outlining the story that it
depicts. The post is directly below this one. The images are phone photos taken
in my studio. They are a ‘tour’ of pot, turning anti-clockwise.
St. Mark of the Farm
My blog post about this is as a companion piece to another
pot, Wedding Procession, and can be seen here with images of both pots. The first image shows both pots, with St. Mark of the Farm on the left. The next two images are both view of St. Mark of the Farm. There is
a detailed account of the story and landscapes that feature on the pot, (it
depicts the funeral of Mark Duggan). It was done as a ‘tryptich.’ There are
three main views to the pot, which borrows from the convention of the
Renaissance altar-piece. There is more in the blog post to explain this
decision and also the title. More images can be seen here.
Pageant
More images of Pageant can be seen here. A general
introduction to the exhibition, ‘An Extraordinary Turn of Events,’ of which it
was a part, is here.
There’s Nothing Like a Kiss
My Blog post is here. Images of this pot and the two others
in Molly’s Odyssey, can be seen here on my page of Francis Kyle Gallerywebsite.
Remembering Atefeh
More images of this pot, including the interior imagery, can be seen here. There story of Atefeh and of the making of the pot is here.
