The Listener SOLD
A Contemporary Twist on Classical Sculpture, these cast of characters takes centre stage upon their own ceramic plinth, ready to be placed in the home.
The Listener, from Podium Series, is a quirky, ceramic figurative sculpture that adds an element of drama to the home; typically contemplative, she is a collector of thoughts. She ponders the day as she warms herself upon the mantlepiece, or perhaps she soaks in the sounds of nature from the conservatory? A sculpture of endless possibilities; her story depends on you and where you decide to set her stage.
A one-of-a-kind ceramic sculpture packed with emotion, hand-crafted design and a touch of light-hearted fun.
The Making of The Listener:
Each unique figurative sculpture from Podium Series is handmade using high-quality clay and attention to detail. Every part of the design is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by hand modelling features to capture movement, emotion and subtlety of expression.
Starting from the feet up, I try to find the information, the clues, to unlock the story of the character. A twist of a knee, an inverted foot, the tilt of the head or flex of a muscle all culminate to form each figure’s individual persona.
Once made, the sculpture is completed with a combination of raw-oxides to further enhance details before being painted with a satin white underglaze and covered with a crackle glaze. Once out of the kiln, she is soaked in a warm toasted brown stain that seeps into all the crevasses of the crackle glaze and wipes away to reveal an antique painterly finish.
