KEEPSAKE

DECEMBER 2020

12 one-of-a-kind pieces showcased in the Saint Cloche Gallery end of year group show ‘Nautilus’, December 2020. I spoke about the process of making these pieces with Craft Victoria through their Virtual Open Studios program in October 2021.

Informed by the theme of the Nautilus shell and the perfect imperfections found within nature, each piece was created using a mould of a scallop shell taking on a new iteration as a petal of a flower. Emily allowed the clay to inform the finished shapes, letting each petal to be placed where it wanted to settle.
