Vase from Porto Series
Fiona Thompson
£80
Description
A hand-built stoneware vase, with layers of slips, glazes, decals, and oxides. Many of my previous projects have focused on travel, tourism and the souvenir; drawing on a personal response to places and experiences. A trip to Porto in Portugal reinvigorated my fascination with the act of being a tourist; everything is potential for visual consumption because it is new and different. We all see places with our own visual filter - anything can be a tourist sight and collected particularly through photography.

About the artist
Fiona Thompson
Midlothian, United KingdomFiona Thompson
Midlothian, United KingdomI'm a ceramic artist, based in Edinburgh. My practice focuses on sculptural/non-functional vessels with layered surface imagery. I build my one-off pieces by hand, and then layer up painted, monoprinted, stencilled and carved imagery. Glazes and photographic decals are added at different stages. Inspiration is often drawn from museum display, tourism/travel and the souvenir.
