This project continues my exploration into repetition, replication and material. The pieces are all cast from prized antique vessels from my parents. In the process of making molds, the originals are invariably destroyed, meaning the life and memory that is intrinsic to the pieces is translated to these new, imperfect replicas. The edges are ragged and accentuated with the gloss of clear glaze, the only detailing present on the replicas, besides the original shape and lettering. The pieces are dualities of new and old, unearthed and polished, one of a kind and multiplied. Each piece has a double life yet exists, intertwined, with its neighbour to become a small part of a whole.
