Wave Reflector

Description
Multicolored hand crafted ceramic vessel by Lauren Skelly Bailey.

Lauren Skelly Bailey explores new ways of layering, swirling, forcing, bending, breaking and reusing the surfaces of her ceramic creations. In her newest body of work, older pots have been given new layers of ceramic materials resulting in new compositions of surface and color. Older parts of her practice become relevant, and important for good bones of new sculptures. By restarting the firing process, the work mirrors the cyclical life of a coral. More specifically how they are able to change their outer skins to reflect their inability to be sustained due to climate change such as, temperatures rising. While stress affects them to turn bright neon, and occasionally stark white from a bleaching event., they do come out of these events to live healthier lives. Each firing presents a new element to the piece furthering its transformation from fail to fixed, pushing the tension between materials and form.
