About
A major work by outstanding contemporary British ceramicist Natasha Daintry. One thousand slip-cast porcelain pots are cleverly arranged to form an 'ocean', exploring Daintry's fascination with nature, water, movement and colour theory, and our emotional responses to colour and form. She says:'Studying water has...encouraged me to cultivate my own tiny internal ocean, a kind of salty spirit-level, to help me find a position of equilibrium on life's continuously shifting ground, minute by minute, second by second, pot by pot.'
Purchased jointly with Gallery Oldham, the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, Touchstones Rochdale and Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Trust through the Contemporary Art Society's craft acquisition scheme with support from the Art Fund, 2012.
