Lake Constance
Ceramic landscape recreation
The mood of the above relaxed landscape prompted me to seek out ceramic pieces that projected a similar calm. Grazing sheep on a gentle slope leading down to a light infused valley, flooded with tonal contrasts, towards distant dark mountains projected a visceral calm. An alluring dichotomy exists between the innocence of the grazing sheep and the white lake against the foreboding dark mountains in the background. Overall the prevailing impression is of the sublime so I decided to recreate this mood in a post with ceramic pieces of black, white and an assortment of greens. I favored a faded pallete and unglazed porcelains with matt surfaces and gentle textures to capture a relaxed feeling. Uncomplicated pieces, predominantly handmade, were also featured to enhance an organic appearance with an air of simplicity. I mainly favored porcelains for their durability and being symbiotic with the endurance of the natural world. Images edited with ethereal misty contrasts that imitate the light diffusion that saturates landscapes were also used.
