It's such a warm day in Durban today, it feels like spring is on it's way. I just have to share the stunning bunch of proteas I bought yesterday, aren't they so beautiful. I haven't seen this particular colour combination before - soft green-tinged white petals with a deep aubergine feathered edge and pale pink inside. I am smitten.<br />

Proteas have been a recurring theme and a source of inspiration in my artwork. They are truely unique, wonderfully diverse and really hardy. Here's a few examples of my work that has been inspired by these magnificent plants.<br />

It's on for another two weeks. 25 artists were invited to participate in the show. Each artist had to select an artwork from the Durban Art Gallery's archive and make a work inspired by that piece. I chose Ryan Arenson's White Tree, Black Rider, Coloured Chickens triptych. I really liked the motifs that Arenson chose for his oil paintings, particularly his Pierneef tree.<br />
<br />
I've been fascinated with trees for a while now, for me they are like the watchers of the world. A tree I'm particularly obsessed with, is one I walk past every day on my way to work. I think it was struck by lightening a few years ago, and it has since died and shed it's bark. The sun has bleached the tree to these wonderful shades of grey and it is a favourite perch for birds in the area. I've photographed this tree many times and in different light, against the stark blue sky of a autumn day to the moody, overcast humid summer afternoon. <br />
<br />
Here is my interpretation of Arenson's work:<br />

The 'dark rider' tile has an interesting 'woven' texture and is glazed in muted greys with a brilliant red glaze which has come out really intense, with a slight dimpling to the surface, a wonder of the firing process. <br />

I wanted to create movement with the placement of the chickens and the horizontal incised detail in the background.

I've really enjoyed working on these tiles and this has a new technique for me: the incised-line drawing into clay. Working with representational motifs is something I haven't done in a long time. I'm planning a whole series of pieces, where I will work in this manner.<br />

The artwork I submitted is an abbreviated version of 'Schema' which was included in my last show, 'Imprint' in November 2009. These are the works that were not sold then, there was originally 16 pieces. I think they still work well as a series of 10. These are made in porcelain fired to 1200 degree celcius and then glazed. Here's some images of my work you can see at the KZNSA Gallery.<br />

The second piece I made unfortunately broke as I was cleaning it, it wasn't meant to be (as my mentor always says). I remade it and then made a third piece and decided it needed a fourth piece to complete the group. I've titled this work 'Mitosis', which means cell division. I think it's quite obvious why :)<br /><br />I really enjoyed making these. Each 'layer' of porcelain is achieved by rolling out paper thin strips of clay and carefully folding and laying them onto the previous strip and porcelain base of the piece. Only the bottom portion of the strip is cross-hatched, slipped and attached the previous layer. Enabling me to achieve the ruffled and slightly distressed edge.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYCioCH8CT3HF_1_t_liwwqRroKLqa7OhKg_yuSZ_nzgR0yE7x-IviMicQvswYWoGB5rZoufzIPmQ6k-n0kZe3eII4FFRdxFvXPtRQ8Hdy3HHchW1M_rAC64dr5kT0L29eqaY5QqZ7mQ/s1600/Mitosis+%232+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 345px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYCioCH8CT3HF_1_t_liwwqRroKLqa7OhKg_yuSZ_nzgR0yE7x-IviMicQvswYWoGB5rZoufzIPmQ6k-n0kZe3eII4FFRdxFvXPtRQ8Hdy3HHchW1M_rAC64dr5kT0L29eqaY5QqZ7mQ/s400/Mitosis+%232+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536427533717822082" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJuIsvTEFPox-pFupJEfeMeTsR7tEsSMp3F6DSXV8yJsc87B70OGD-HmQO9ywAuQbqFI7q00g4iw8C5YrYdrAG76z2Bzg-fEDdFW4KXc1jmcmt9OX2_vTpznCuXRqtrjIyOiOgIac4IXE/s1600/Mitosis+%233+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 342px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJuIsvTEFPox-pFupJEfeMeTsR7tEsSMp3F6DSXV8yJsc87B70OGD-HmQO9ywAuQbqFI7q00g4iw8C5YrYdrAG76z2Bzg-fEDdFW4KXc1jmcmt9OX2_vTpznCuXRqtrjIyOiOgIac4IXE/s400/Mitosis+%233+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536427535621716514" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3m6AfFwaLhhbf-Mn34bpg70csDC8ueoVYQrGK8_zY22ZKt0cBHkQ3e5ElbLb_Q7R3_HKpY4b6p_IEEyPBi8zC8VjbUURyPJY87U5-enCgWkyDrHVoDr1wpuXH4iElx2z9Nz7eLeqG2o/s1600/Mitosis+%234+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 347px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3m6AfFwaLhhbf-Mn34bpg70csDC8ueoVYQrGK8_zY22ZKt0cBHkQ3e5ElbLb_Q7R3_HKpY4b6p_IEEyPBi8zC8VjbUURyPJY87U5-enCgWkyDrHVoDr1wpuXH4iElx2z9Nz7eLeqG2o/s400/Mitosis+%234+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536427538405297666" border="0" /></a><br />This work can be seen at the 'In Bloom' exhibition, opening on the 16 November at <a href="http://www.casalabia.co.za/whatson.html">Casa Labia</a> in Muizenburg, Cape Town.

The technique is something I've been toying with for a while now but this is the first time I've tried using this layered, fringed technique on a larger scale in porcelain. I usually work quite small in porcelain. I used a plaster mould for the basic structure of the piece, which I began by laying a thin slab of porcelain about 5mm thick into the mould.

I'm not sure where they are going yet but I keep getting flashes of what they want to become. It's a difficult thing to describe the creative process, for me it starts with an image, a shape, a form and even perhaps a texture. Sometimes its something I see in a film or in a book or magazine and sometimes I'm inspired by other artists. Two artists that I'm very excited about at the moment is South African artist Paul Edmunds and Brazilian ceramic artist Valeria Nascimento. Their work is incredible.</span><br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.pauledmunds.co.za/"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.pauledmunds.co.za/</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://www.valerianascimento.com/">http://www.valerianascimento.com/</a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">But before I move into the new year I think I need to post some more images of my second solo exhibition I had at the end of last year at the KZNSA Gallery, Durban, South Africa.

I've had a couple of problems with firing e.g. kilns under firing and work cracking which is always stressful. As those that work in ceramic should know, one always needs a plan B or maybe plan C or possibly be very good at patching, disguising or creative fixes! It's been a very busy last few months as it is also the end of the teaching year and the kilns are all on the go with student work.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">It's two and a bit weeks to go and I've just about finished all the making and it's time for glazing. I find glazing is a whole other challenge particularly when it comes to deciding on finishes/colours. The wrong decision can ruin a whole piece. I hope it goes well and not too many hiccups along the way... And please kilns, cooperate!</span>Carla da Cruzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853706130619261933noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739895395662835409.post-31606413838602456922009-05-18T16:59:00.000+02:002009-05-18T17:14:20.959+02:00New Work 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQItkWinvfLcjGqmkgStGj2cFaokMB2xGy-ocwpbAncNYvFaWzC1SmzOug_0RqxeE5RA982nI-nHz_SyVZ9iC3f3BU9pn6xgOVR4lSIU3HiXA0Jtjsbxg_Ls9Cugbtni1eDLpgp-G77Yg/s1600-h/edit2+%28Medium%29+%282%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQItkWinvfLcjGqmkgStGj2cFaokMB2xGy-ocwpbAncNYvFaWzC1SmzOug_0RqxeE5RA982nI-nHz_SyVZ9iC3f3BU9pn6xgOVR4lSIU3HiXA0Jtjsbxg_Ls9Cugbtni1eDLpgp-G77Yg/s400/edit2+%28Medium%29+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337181959900666978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1lqlbTru4G8hCQeDpUZnnloKSW_Lq72aHLTtawsRt3q4ePOiN1kkLQtq4TGC0RwJosZdiXhP3IiaTRNkmznZzVcaAYB5oldvqlnVNBg9mDh9Ux-vkMVbrk-psp-3hTxkcy3l5kjS_OA/s1600-h/Wallflower+IV+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1lqlbTru4G8hCQeDpUZnnloKSW_Lq72aHLTtawsRt3q4ePOiN1kkLQtq4TGC0RwJosZdiXhP3IiaTRNkmznZzVcaAYB5oldvqlnVNBg9mDh9Ux-vkMVbrk-psp-3hTxkcy3l5kjS_OA/s400/Wallflower+IV+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337181968967597842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqjfOmsX9peg6Sq8GJTw3GoVlwkErzDsSdHwMKylwh2Azl4u3AbB_T7TyY5FSec-24OHJPsiexG22m4Yput_2lCb-_iAL-ltR1NgaLCNIokOfeoG2UrNn4hxcSdEZeVleqoPEQI8p_cw/s1600-h/Wallflower+III+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqjfOmsX9peg6Sq8GJTw3GoVlwkErzDsSdHwMKylwh2Azl4u3AbB_T7TyY5FSec-24OHJPsiexG22m4Yput_2lCb-_iAL-ltR1NgaLCNIokOfeoG2UrNn4hxcSdEZeVleqoPEQI8p_cw/s400/Wallflower+III+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337181967546478642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakZbBQu0odCYtuLKgpur0YVBY8YVk7rVTwHpjsirzZZqSpMUYgfNnkJsO6ftqELku3xynCgm9DIyvbD4yDqctegV2ZYXXJFkfomU50uvRk3Dzt_Osj0wD-EoEncZuy7d9_Q5UNLG533I/s1600-h/Wallflower+II+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 344px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakZbBQu0odCYtuLKgpur0YVBY8YVk7rVTwHpjsirzZZqSpMUYgfNnkJsO6ftqELku3xynCgm9DIyvbD4yDqctegV2ZYXXJFkfomU50uvRk3Dzt_Osj0wD-EoEncZuy7d9_Q5UNLG533I/s400/Wallflower+II+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337181965436125122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQIVevUksJWK78OPNW83fpBxDLFNkgm31rYZmWBIS39Ol_2yTwTSadL8dr3psz5NxuvKCn12e7r5DyAxfSAVed6wx-kYyZJmOXolj3YbRgPgcxxsKC0_ICveAI0m5SlYFiHBR-BfIDpM/s1600-h/Wallflower+I+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQIVevUksJWK78OPNW83fpBxDLFNkgm31rYZmWBIS39Ol_2yTwTSadL8dr3psz5NxuvKCn12e7r5DyAxfSAVed6wx-kYyZJmOXolj3YbRgPgcxxsKC0_ICveAI0m5SlYFiHBR-BfIDpM/s400/Wallflower+I+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337181961677118466" border="0" /></a><br /><br />These latest works are my first attempt at working in porcelain. This "Wallflower" series was a part of the DUT Fine Art and Jewellery Design Department's Staff Exhibition, titled "New Connections", held at the KZNSA Gallery in Durban, SA, in March this year. I have a solo exhibition planned for late October this year, at the same gallery. These works are a starting point for a new series.<br /><br />I have found porcelain wonderful and incredibly frustrating to work with. But trying something new is always inspiring and I love a good challenge.Carla da Cruzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853706130619261933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739895395662835409.post-29391073929372015382009-01-28T15:54:00.000+02:002009-01-28T16:36:23.088+02:002008 Corobrik National Ceramics CompetitionI participated in the 2008 Corobrik National Ceramics Exhibition held at the University of Johannesburg Art Gallery. Guest judge was Peter Beard an acclaimed ceramic artist living and working in the UK. The 2008 Corobrik winner was Nikkie Swanepoel, who made a series of sculptural cow heads. I received a highly commended certificate. The work I submitted is a series of five small domed pieces, titled "Flower Series II".
