Beccy Ridsdel’s ceramic sculptures are cut open to reveal surprises beneath their surface. Below the carefully-peeled layers are busy floral patterns that act as the lifeblood to Ridsdel’s plates and cups.
She compares her work to a surgical experiment that’s in progress. The object is dissected, and what do we find? Craft through and through.
I love seeing this hard, fragile object transformed into something that looks malleable. Ridsdel fools us into think we could easily manipulate it on our own, which is a testament to the believably of her sculptures. (Via Hi Fructose)
