| Kerry O'Conner |
|
 |
|
| Kerry graduated from Liverpool Hope University in 1999 with a bachelor of
design degree, specialising in silver and ceramics. Sleek and minimalist, her
pieces are handmade with a stylish unique quality. She brings together the
unusual combination of silver with porcelain. Kerry's new salt and pepper
vessels have porcelain bodies each with an individual detail that has been
hand-created from Sterling silver. There are different silversmithing processes
used when making these tops such as doming, hand-forming and anticlastic
raising. When finished they are bonded to the top surface of the porcelain,
each one different. Because her work is designed in relation to tactile qualities
found in nature, her pieces are to be used and enjoyed, not simply as a
pleasure to look at. |
