Tessa Eastman: Baby Cloud Bundles, 2017-2020
The Baby Cloud Bundles were originally created for the British Ceramics Biennial. These are smaller versions of the sculptures that were on show in the FRESH section of the Biennial.
Haphazard sprouting mesh shapes unite and conflict with voluminous cloud-like forms, suggesting a dichotomous relationship of harmony and tension. Pieces are hand built and glazes have been developed to enhance the sensuous physicality of the work.
