Slipcast Ceramics

Helen Felcey

'Moving Forms' 2005

Forms created through the movement of material during the firing process.

I have been considering how to highlight the processes I chose to use. Helen has used the slumping that occurs during firing, which is something ceramicists usually battle against, as a key part of her work.

These very familiar functional items have been turned into installation pieces.
