英国美国陶瓷艺术家安娜·怀特豪斯(Anna Whitehouse)设定了一个目标,要在100天内每天制作一瓶新酒。通过限制自己发挥她的创造力,制定出在实践中从未探索过的新设计。下面每个白色陶瓷瓶都是统一的形状,但她在表面上的设计每天都不一样。有些瓶子上有重复出现的小洞,而另一些瓶子上则覆盖着类似叶子或花卉图案。艺术家把这100天的练习比作记日记或填写速写本,因为每一个新物件都像是一幅崭新的速写,第二天就可以从中学到东西。
U.K.-based ceramic artist Anna Whitehouse set a goal on January 1, 2018 to create a new bottle each day for 100 days. By limiting herself to a single form, Whitehouse was able to stretch her creativity to formulate new designs previously unexplored in her practice. Each white ceramic bottle was uniformly shaped, but the designs she created on the surface differed each day. Some bottles were punctured with tiny repetitive holes, while others were covered in leaf-like applications or floral motifs.“I tried pressing and scraping any tool I could get my hands on into the clay,Whitehouse explains. “From my standard clay tools to pen lids, tweezers, scissors, and even a string of beads! I also started making my own tools from bits of broken pen, wire, and aluminum to create particular marks.”The artist compares the 100-day-long exercise to journaling or filling a sketchbook, as each new object was like a brand new sketch that could be learned from for the next day. “I’ve kept the work unglazed, like white pages from a sketchbook, highlighting the mark making through the contrast created by shadows.”After the completion of her project Whitehouse created a “clay calendarwhich you can visit on her website. The interactive portfolio outlines each bottle she made from January 1 to April 10, 2018, and includes her unique titles which are based on something that happened during the day they were made. You can see further iterations of her bottles and clay creations on her Instagram. (via Colossal Submissions)
