A quiet study after Paul Cézanne (Still LIfe with Curtain and Flowered Pitcher, 1898). Glazes are used in a painterly way and further detail is minimally rendered with gestural lines carved into the glaze before firing.

Measurements: 12 × 9 inches
This piece is unique.

Holly Wheatcroft’s ceramic collages offer a playful take on the still life genre where objects are anything but “still” as they break away and spill out of their frames. Glazed stoneware slabs and shapes are layered with art historical references and a focus on pattern and texture. The artist’s use of clay is a deliberate and contemporary choice to highlight pottery’s role throughout the ages as an enduring storytelling medium.
