Buisson n°2 by Claire Lindner

Vibrant in both form and colour, this dynamic sculptural object has been crafted using a post-war plaster leaf mould from Vallauris, a region in France known for its pottery. Slabs of stoneware have been stamped into the mould, carefully twisted and distorted, and then intuitively joined together to create a large unfurling organic shape, a playful nod to 18th-century lettuce ware. The work has then been sprayed with fine layers of glaze, using a gradient of colours from green to red, evocative of both vegetation and incandescent flames.
