Cubes: applied art for interiors

01

These pieces are a series of porcelain cubes that take inspiration from architecture; city skylines and architectural drawings, with their neat squares and cubes, linking back to the cube as an aesthetically pleasing form in its own right: one of the five Platonic solids.

This piece works in the intersection of ceramics, architecture, and interior design, to utilise & enhance human spaces in an optimistic way. It uses handmade cubes, inside buildings and spaces which are traditionally built to be perfect. Although cubes are traditionally seen as sublime in their perfection, the handmade quality of this piece, with its slight imperfections of shape, softened edges and expressive glazes, has an affinity with the human experience. 

This work uses 3-dimensional  forms on walls, incorporating sculptural aspects to enhance the space. The fall of light and therefore the shadows created by the forms thus become incorporated into the work,  as well as the surface texture and colour. The 3-dimensional aspect allows the work to have different facets depending on viewpoint, as if in a city of skyscrapers, with the view changing with position, thus engaging curiosity.
