movie day: The Cup with Sophie Moran
The Cup from Story Shed on Vimeo.
The Quarry collection features high fired, functional, stoneware
vessels with flecked, matte glazes in a palette of earthy colours. While
recognising the influence of traditional Japanese pottery, this work
also aims to capture the sun bleached character of the Australian
outback, bringing a sense of the land into contemporary homes, for use
with our modern and multi-cultural meals. sophiemoran.info
Story Shed is a video production company based in Melbourne, formed
by multi-media producer Nadia Hume and award-winning cameraman Matt
Jasper. Together, Nadia and Matt have over 40 years experience in
broadcast media working in Australia and internationally.
Story Shed was formed out of a shared love of bringing stories to life on screen. storyshed.com.au
The music is by local Melbourne band Ponyface. Pony Face’s music is a
sonic kaleidoscope, encompassing psych/surf guitars, doom drums, bass
lines moulded from rock bottom and sampled textural layers which have
become synonymous with a loud spacial sound. ponyface.com.au
The video was shot by Matt Jasper using a Canon 1DC with Zeiss prime
lenses. It was edited in Avid Media Composer and graded using Deluts
within Davinci Resolve. The video was produced by Nadia Hume for Story
Shed Melbourne.
monday morning eye candy: Joyce St. Clair ~ Guest Post by Ceramic Artists Now
adornment, and form is a challenge to achieve. Joyce St. Clair is pushing hard to find
and defy this balance. Her functional pottery teeters on the edge of this
balance while she seems to not actually care whether or not there is such a
thing as “too much”. This works to St. Clair’s benefit as her work takes the viewer
into a much richer and decadent reality while using and living with her work.
The viewer is also given a source of endless entertainment within the mass of
decorative elements lumped together; eyes can pass from flower to flower to
brilliant swirl to leaf and back a hundred times in a unique order always with
new shapes and colors and glaze runs to enrich the experience. St. Clair’s
forms are quite elegant and exaggerated while retaining some very strict
utility within their stable feet, generous rims, and comfortable handles. While
red, blue, and green are colors we constantly see in nature, there is something
slightly supernatural about St. Clair’s glaze palette, which regains humanity
when it loses control, running and pooling over the clay.
Thanks again to our great Guest writers from Ceramics Artists Now. Make sure to check out their website for more amazing ceramic based artwork.
