MORE PAINTERLY CERAMICS



I seem to  be on a role with posting free brushstoke on ceramic surfaces...I find it incredibly exciting..the combination of a limited 3d form holding within it bold expressionist paint marks and textures.
And so by chance I came across the website of the Dutch ceramist, Petri Voet. The images posted here are admittedly from several years ago, and since Petri seems to produce a somewhat diverse range of work, I am not sure if this direction is still being pursued. I found the description of her work on her website rather inspiring and mysterious:
'Much of the work of Petri Foot contain her memories of distant travels. The open-minded viewer can travel on his own imaginative conception. Swivel the horizon around a bowl reveals new horizons loom on. '
