Diane Griffin - Ceramics
"The inspiration for my work stems from a trip to the Wailing Wall where I was intrigued by the thousands of wishes and prayers written on paper and crammed between the stones in the wall.
I have also incorporated some hand written scripts which are taken from letters exchanged by my grandparents during the war in 1944. I overlay the script so that you can't read the whole letter but can recognise words or parts of sentences which keeps it private yet the final piece will sit in a public place such as a gallery or another's home.

Purple Scroll Vases in Extra large, Large and Medium sizes

Turqouise Scroll vases in Extra large, Large and Medium sizes
Pod Vase £150

The main body of my larger vases is slip cast, then I hand roll scrolls in different sizes and apply them individually. I use a variety of scroll sizes for visual interest as well as allowing different stem sizes to be accommodated.
I have aimed to strike a balance between a sculptural aesthetic and a practical function."
