300gsm CP Paper - Framed (68cmx52cm)
Four ceramic vessels gather like old companions, each carrying its own history of fire and glaze. This piece celebrates the tactile poetry of pottery—their lidded forms, handles, and rounded bellies rendered through layered washes that mirror the unpredictable beauty of the glazes themselves.
Watercolor felt like the natural medium for this subject: both pottery glaze and watercolor pigment share that quality of bleeding, pooling, and settling into surfaces in ways that can't be fully controlled. The greens, blues, and purples shift and bloom across each vessel's surface much as mineral glazes do in the kiln, while the cracked plaster wall behind echoes the same passage of time that gives old ceramics their character.
Grouped together against a weathered backdrop, these jars and urns become more than objects—they're quiet witnesses, holding stories of the hands that shaped them and the spaces they've occupied. I wanted the painting to honour both the craft of the potter and the meditative process of watching color find its own way across wet paper.
