Muse
Earthenware
h 20cm
This work is a continuation of the still-life
motif but it also takes on other more sculptural
ideas. It is laden with cultural references,
music, literature mixed here with hints
of food and the body, specifically the heart.
Here's how it was described by Ceramic Review:
'Simon Fell's ceramic sculpture hails from
the surreal world of Richard
Slee. Fell makes his figurative still-lifes
as separate items, which unify in the kiln
as the glaze melts. In Muse, a handful
of forms, a book, egg yolks and a door stop,
each simple but vividly associative, meld
with a musical form ambiguously endowed
with a vessel opening; a piling-up of entreaties
to look at what is on the inside'
