One Hundred
I am making 100 torsos after reading a statistic on the Women’s Aid website;
On average the police in England and Wales receive over 100 calls relating to domestic abuse every hour. (HMIC, 2015)
I decided to glaze in a low firing white opaque glaze on top of the paper clay. When I used the inks on top of the crazed glaze it revealed the cracks and emphasised the flaws in the glaze.The flowers are drawn on by hand with ceramic pen.
Each torso is numbered out of 100 on the back and signed.
