Chenille Bottle

$250.00
$250.00

Inspiration: 
First, raw colorant is wedged little by little into the porcelain, to create a consistent pigmented ball of clay. After throwing the bottle on the wheel, the piece is trimmed. Following this, when the clay is at a leather hard stage of drying, I take a plastic bristled brush and stipple the surface akin to the texture of a chenille bedspread. Then once the cup is bone dry, I take shellac and freehand paint intuitive designs onto the surface. Once that dries, I carefully water carve the vessel using a wet sponge. The piece went through 2 firings and 1 additional firing for gold luster teeth at the lip. The process of stippling and water etching the surface is very meditative and slow. 

Size:
6" x 4" x 4"

Medium:
Pigmented porcelain, water etched and gold lustered

Artist Bio

Faye Kennelly is a New Orleans-based, Yankee-raised Registered Art Therapist, Professional Counselor and Ceramicist. Her work both invites and simultaneously repels physical intimacy and touch, it’s intuitive, evocative, curious and animated. Faye believes that making art is dangerous and revealing and this is likely why she’s always done it.
Artistic Process

I approach clay media with curiosity, infinite adaption, spontaneity, intention and impulse. The studio is where I allow myself to take risks and rely on instinct and intuition to guide my decisions. The intersection of soothing mechanical recapitulation and innate impulse is where my work is born.
