JM570Y9 Green Bowl III

Green bowl with silver gintsugi detail

This porcelain bowl is hand-built using the Japanese technique called nerikomi. Coloured porcelain is stacked, then sliced through the cross section to reveal a pattern. Judy manipulates the slabs by hand to make a form which after firing is polished to create a silky surface. She embraces the fissures that can occur in the making or firing process with the Japanese art of gintsugi – highlighting mends with solid silver, thus celebrating the beauty of imperfection and fragility.
