i’m jealous of nuala o’donovan
Whoa. Crazy, beautiful, organic ceramic pieces by Nuala O’Donovan, an artist based in Cork, Ireland. I am imagining that these photos do not do her work justice. I would love the chance to have a closer look, and actually hold one of these stunning objects in my hot little hands… very, very carefully, of course. Here is Nuala’s artist statement about this work, and her process:
“My work combines regular pattern with the characteristics of irregular patterns and forms from nature. Each element of the pattern is individually made, the form is constructed slowly over a period of weeks or months. The finished forms are a result of an intuitive response to the direction that the pattern takes as well as the irregularity in the handmade elements of the pattern.”
Ceramics??!! WOW!
yep! crazy.
unreal!
whoa.
Just been reading about 3d printers – thought these must have been made by one – they look amazing so complex and delicate
These are totally awesome, I too want one of them, like the one looking like a hedgehog!
The first one reminds me of a piece of antler I picked up in the woods last summer. It has the same kind of internal structure and external shape. These are absolutely fascinating.
I am generally not a ceramics fan but these are simply luscious !
wait til you see what i have coming up next week… crazy ceramics!
Really quite amazing!!!!!!!!
in a word WOW!!! I am soooo jealous
