This work is currently shortlisted for the Signature Art Prize 2019/20. If you wish to purchase this piece it will be available after the 13th February 2020. About the artist: Aphra was born in Whitby, North Yorkshire and has always had a fascination with collecting forms that she considers as 3D collages. O’Connor recently graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Masters degree in Ceramics and Glass and from Wimbledon College of Art in 2014 with a BA in Sculpture. Her sculptural background allows her to visualise clay in a manner that is outside of the craft pathway; with the aim of extending her designs into collaborative and inclusive installations. Aphra uses clay as a canvas to expand her drawings, developing her bold and graphic designs into 3d. She is developing mixed media installation devices to display her work in a provocative way, requiring the viewer to observe the work in a manner that establishes a new ceramic perspective. About the work: The sculpture is titled ‘Ubiquity Construction’ to reference the way in which the surface pattern is omnipresent. The piece unites pattern and form, allowing the viewer to see multiple viewpoints at once. In my practice I aim to unify pattern and form in my print and ceramic works to create ‘Dynamic Equilibrium’, a balance between 2d and 3d design. The bringing together of colour, pattern and form in coadunation and absolute equivalence is critical in allowing me to unite sculptural forms and my drawn patterns in a new dimension that is both flat and solid. I find that series of objects convey more information and narrative than single forms, especially in ceramics where collections allow the viewer to see new relationships between objects. Working with collections of ceramic designs allows me to extend my patterns across multiple forms. My interest in collections has lead me to create a visual language out of my own drawings and found forms that are then translated into plaster moulds and used as an object generator. I am amalgamating these ceramic and print works to create a holistic way of seeing form, pattern and colour.
