Exclusively fluid, organic forms in ultra-thin bone |
 EGETATIVE
slip-cast forms decorated with
matt underglaze colours first brought Angela Mellor's work to the notice
of the Australian and European public. More recent monochromatic work
contrasting organic detail with classical, flaring bell forms exploit
the translucence of bone china. Mellor has had a lifelong interest in
natural history subjects and much of her inspiration and original pastel
palette is to be found in the minutiae of her surroundings. |
Bark, lichen, a spider's web, coral, shells, flowers, wings and the shadows on the wall opposite her kitchen window have inspired either form or decorative elements. Married since 1995 to mining engineer Manfred Dinse, she spends part of each year in Indonesia where the exotic tropical plants have been the inspiration for brighter colours in her palette. Marine life on the Australian coast is the inspiration for her current body of work. |
