This large, globular ceramic work appears at first to be a textile work created from a patchwork of different materials, with white and red piping delineating each section. At its centre is stoneware coloured with cobalt oxide and turquoise stain. In a process taking over five months to complete, tiny balls of clay have been painstakingly rolled and flattened by hand, then pricked with a needle to produce a textured surface, which conveys a sense of sumptuous tactility akin to velvet.
