Incised artist's initials (Dimensions: 14cm high, 29.2cm diameter (5.5in high, 11.5in diameter))(14cm high, 29.2cm diameter (5.5in high, 11.5in diameter))Footnote: Sara Moorhouse’s development of colour and spatial perception in ceramics began with her Masters degree at Cardiff in 2003. Her work uses the bowl as a canvas, distilling specific landscape scenes and exploring the spaces within landscape where they appear altered depending on the ever-changing colours of season, weather and time. Her forms can be made to seem deeper or shallower, wider or narrower, or may appear to bend, move, undulate or hover by the juxtaposition of lines. The viewing of both inner and outer surfaces together enables her to exploit colour connections and visual play from one side to another emphasising or flattening the dimensionality of the form. Moorhouse’s works are thrown, turned and fired, then lines are applied to the bisque bowl by being painted in hand back on the wheel, before a final matte glaze is applied to the pieces to stabilise and enhance the coloured surface. 'I am fascinated by the ways in which colour affects the appearance of three-dimensional space and form. I first recognised this phenomenon within the arable landscapes of North Nottinghamshire and, whilst colour theory impacts greatly on my process, landscapes are a source to which I always return.'Condition report: The ceramic appears sound. No obvious signs of damage or restoration. Overall it appears in good condition.
