Canada born Malory gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Ceramics, Minor in Art History in 2016 from NSCAD University (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design).
She makes one-of-a-kind sculptural vessels inspired by the artistic movements of the 17th and 18th Century. Her work is a contemporary interpretation of this period, of objects that focus on extravagance and specificity. More often than not, her pieces are designed for flowers.
There is a French phrase, ‘Être fleur bleue’ (‘To be a blue flower’), that describes a person who is a starry-eyed romantic. ‘The little blue flower’ is a symbol for love, desire, and the pursuit of the unreachable. She finds beauty and a romantic sentiment in the simple pleasures in life, such as arranging fresh cut flowers, writing a handwritten letter, or taking the time to mend a favourite garment. Her love of objects comes from the act of elevating these simple activities into an extravagant experience. She is the Little Blue Flower, the sentimentalist.
Malory’s pieces are thrown and altered with a semi-porcelain body that allows for a high level of manipulation, and she fires work between cones 6 and 8. She has developed a palette of blue, white, and green glazes with varying textures from crystallised satin matte to high gloss. These enable her to produce a water-colour effect on more ornate forms whilst other designs will showcase an elegant contrast of a white exterior with a coloured interior.
