“Woodland”- an exquisite sculptural piece by Wendy Campbell-Briggs.
This artwork was hand formed in porcelain, embellished with gold leaf, and is hung by hemp cord. Each bottle has a unique stopper which takes the form of woodland fauna and flora.
Using the simplicity of ceramic forms to express the fragility of our environment, ceramic artist Wendy Campbell-Briggs creates both one-off sculptural pieces as well as artworks in series. Her aim is to make the work visually engaging whilst communicating an important environmental message about species loss. As a metaphor for this she uses lachrymatories, otherwise known as tear bottles, which were first used during the Roman period to collect the tears of mourners.
Wendy exhibits nationally in galleries and ceramic art shows, a winner of the West Midlands Open and finalist in the biennial Chaiya Arts Awards.
Dimensions: bottles are 9cm high x overall drop is 60 cm (including the cord) x 13cm width.
