Topographic Mayfield 10

Inspired by the fascinating patterns and shapes found in topographic maps, this ceramic wall sculpture by Philippa Quill features several layers of eye-catching shapes, which Quill layers onto a tile before adding texture via clay impressions. This texturing is enhanced by multiple applications of underglaze, after which the pieces are fired at high temperature then reassembled using Quill’ unique take on kintsugi. Tiles are sealed to prevent oxidation and mounted to birch panel with vertical strips, allowing the piece to “float” on the wall.

Wired and ready to hang.
