Innumerable, wafer-thin layers of porcelain ripple into the collapsed sides of\u00a0Olivia Walker<\/a>\u2019s vessels. The Devon-based artist throws small bowls on the wheel before affixing countless fragments that appear to rupture and spread across the forms. Layers are attached while leather-hard, the perfect pliability for sculpting growths evocative of fungi, coral, and other organisms.<\/p>\n

For wall-based works, Walker collaborates with her partner Ben. These pieces meld the porcelain shards of the vessels with tadelakt<\/a>, a naturally waterproof plaster made of lime. The smooth surface slowly gives way to the delicate porcelain layers, which appear to consume the flat planes with voluminous, undulating textures.<\/p>\n

Walker is currently in the middle of a few large-scale commissions, many of which reference landscape and harvest, and she has a few pieces available from Make Hauser & Wirth Somerset<\/a>. Keep an eye on the artist’s Instagram<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n
