Aaron Calvert (USA).
Using well established techniques such as wheel throwing and slab construction, I strive to create a personal voice within an ancient craft. Often narrative, my work speaks of where I am in life both physically and mentally. Since January of 2006, I have been focusing on a new body of work entitled "ANTS". This shift in content from previous work was sparked by move from Ohio to Arkansas. Mid west landscapes and rusty machenery have made way in my art for the kitchen plunders.
Aimee Jane Whitehead (UK).
"Candelabra Cup". My design is based on the Mundane tea cup for wich the primary focus is practicality not the aesthetics. The piece plays on the idea of the traditional use of candelabras, for a romantic lit dinner and combines these features to create a table centerpiece with a twist. he piece is lit from the inside with a colour changing led that glows through the porcelain.
