Amor-Perfeito

, Toni De Jesus

We’re working on releasing this image.

Amor-Perfeito vase made from the recreated recipe for the porcelain body of Nantgarw China Works and inspired by a plate by Nantgarw China Works with a floral motif. De Jesus used the pansy as decoration because of the derogatory queer connotations associated with the flower's name. However,the Portuguese translation of 'pansy' is Amor-Perfeito which means ‘perfect love’. This word has been added in white clay letters around the circumference of the vase.

This piece was made to be part of the On Your Face Collective which is a social enterprise that highlights queer creatives in Wales, for the groups Queer Reflections exhibition in 2022 at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea.
