ARTIST STATEMENT

Mountain Kaleidoscope

This was a project to present surface design proposal for a piece of commercial ceramicware. My design centred around high altitude landscapes. These landscapes can at first glance can appear harsh and hostile, but may be full of surprises in terms of colour, warmth and majestic beauty.

Inspired in shape by Japanese Jubako tiered food boxes, this design features three stacked ceramic dishes that fit perfectly on top of each other with a lid. Each tier is decorated with different playful themes, patterns and colours to evoke the experiences of mountain landscapes.
