Ceramic and Wood Forms

Swindell, Geoffrey

We’re working on releasing this image.

Sculptural group in wood and ceramic, comprising sets of wooden blocks (6) with fitted covers (5) hollowed out to house eight small ceramic forms, the wood blocks and covers squared off but retaining much of the irregular natural surface, one block supported by a notched perspex disc for display, the ceramic forms ranging in size from 6.5 x 5.5 x 4 cm to 0.7 x 1.1 x 1.1 cm, all of biomorphic form with apertures, speckled grey, plum-coloured or pale brown glazes and some silvering. Packed in a vinyl-covered cassette case lined with grey foam, with a photograph to illustrate the packing method and 2 A4 photocopies to show the display method.
