Daily Poetics

For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weather; every day has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously.

I love these ... I think they almost look yummy ... until reading the titles. They are gorgeous.

"My work Medical Heirlooms explores the stigma of diseases, questioning contemporary obsessions with perfection and beauty.  I have been manipulating the ceramic material in a way that emulates physiological processes, deliberately encouraging 'faults', 'defects' and 'blemishes.'  These features add visual and tactual interest to the vessels, and are intended to mirror the interest and individuality that can be added to a person's appearance by scars, flaws or deformities from medical conditions (their health legacy).  Based on 17th -18th century apothecary jars, the forms have strong historical and medical links, as well as providing the metaphor of vessel as body: they become containers for disease, rather than holding the cure. As family heirlooms, the jars can be passed down through the generations in the same way as hereditary medical conditions." - Tamsin van Essen

Title Quote:Soren Kierkegaard

Hark, below, the many-voiced earth, The chanting of the old religious trees, Rustle of far-off waters, woven sounds Of small and multitudinous lives awake, Peopling the grasses and the pools with joy, Uttering their meaning to the mystic night!

Mandy Greer
