Crafts CouncilDirectoryKay AplinFire and WaterAboutFire and Water is a continuation of my investigation into micro-flora which has been the focus of my practice since 2013. ‘Fire’ refers to the woodfiring technique employed to fire the ceramics whilst ‘water’ references the site of a natural spring in Asturias, Spain, the source of the plants. I collected plants growing around the Victoria Spring in Asturias which I translated into porcelain with a distinctive palette of matte and gloss finishes. The work was created for Collect 2019, Saatchi.
