Elaine Hind

My work is always porcelain and is semi or non-functional, usually with a lot of modelling. It has an element of representationalism about it, or illustration. My main subjects are natural forms, especially flowers, although I also use still life themes including decorative handbags and shoes which I collect. I wish to capture the spirit of the subject in a free and sculptural way, never photographically.

The lamp is one of a series inspired by the beautiful flower heads of leeks, which have gone to seed., with their mop heads of blossom on wavy stalks.
The lamp is hand built in a porcelain / clay mix, fired in oxidation to 1260°C. It is coloured with under glaze colours and copper carbonate under a satin dolomite glaze.
The glass "seeds" are fired separately and added after firing. When lit in a darkened room, patterns are cast on walls and ceilings.
