Sandra Byers
'Salom 5 lobed pod SB#4' Porcelain

1983

About the Item

Porcelain 2" x 2" x 2" Sandra Byers creates these small nature-inspired translucent porcelain vessels using a variety of techniques. She begins some forms on the potter's wheel and then alters them by hand building, cutting, and incising. She has been exploring some newer forms which she creates by hand building, pinching, and carving. She enjoys seeing how forms gradually come into being and trying to allow that to happen. She uses microcrystalline matt glazes on the colored pieces and a simple white matt on the interior of the white ones. In porcelain, she is trying to catch the delicacy as well as the strength of nature's details. These pieces come to life in the sunlight. Sandra Byers' vessels evoke the delicacy of nature - like the petals of a flower, the gills of a mushroom, or the form and detail of coral.

Spilling Pepsi Cup with Coffee Lid and Five of Spades
By Richard Shaw
Located in Burlingame, CA
In the world of ceramics, Richard Shaw is a professor and the master of trompe l’oeil (French for “fool the eye”) sculpture, a style often associated with paintings intended to give a convincing illusion of reality. Shaw's work replicates everyday objects (such as tin cans, playing cards, and cutlery) in porcelain. He then glazes these components and groups them in unexpected and even jarring combinations. While interested in how objects can reflect a person’s identity, Shaw also poses questions regarding the relationship between appearance and authenticity. Spilling Pepsi Cup with Coffee Lid...
