Surreal Shop Window

Louis Vuitton and other shop windows were very inspiring when I
was in New York a few months ago. Little did I know that we will be doing work for a shop window in the very near future. . . !

Andrew and Marianne from

Pure Publishing & Design asked us to "translate" their concept for a new shop – the Jeweler, Adara - into a ceramic installation.



~ Salvador Dali Atomica Series ~



Inspiration from the

Salvador Dali Atomica Series

dictated the contradicting

strong movement,

frozen it time.

 

Display Themes in the shop are Wedding, Celebration, Engagement and Fashion all had to be incorporated into the display boxes inside the store and the two large shop front windows.

The scale of the pieces in the front window are hugely exaggerated – the Champaign flutes are 40 cm tall.

 
 

Celebrate with a bottle of  bubbly; popped with a big animated splash, a tray of large cup cakes, balloons and a tray of glasses tumbling and spilling liquid on the floor.

 

An exciting challenge to "capture" everything in clay for this glamorous new shop . . .

Knick-knacks in the making . . .



~ Ceramic Bugs - Ceramic Matters ~



I enjoy making intricate, fragile pieces . . . sometimes.

These were made for a photographic shoot for a paint company.

Some are made and dried on the kiln shelf; can be handles after the Bisque firing.
