This sculpture is a part of the artist's most recent body of work, in which she uses paper porcelain—porcelain that has been given a 0.5% paper fiber addition for increased flexibility—to produce organic, dynamic, and natural shapes. The material's physical limits are tested (it collapses during firing), and the balance between the full and empty spaces produced by the shapes is experimented with. Although she assembles various components to create her sculptures, the final outcome after firing is always subject to surprise because of this collapsing process. This sculpture's use of colour is a key component that is likely to elicit an emotional or psychological response from the viewer. The surface's linear patterns direct the viewer's attention along the curves, emphasising the soft, light and fluid appearance. less
