To people in West Australia - please go and see Margaret O'Rorke's stunning
exhibition of sculptural porcelain light pieces currently exhibiting at
Perth Studio Potters 1 Burt Street Cottesloe until September 27th.
Margaret uses translucent porcelain, wheel thrown, cut, altered,
reassembled, carved and then fired to cone 10. She then uses light fittings
inside her pieces which bring them to life giving them a strong visual
impact of light and shadow highlighting the rhythm and sensuality of the
forms.
Margaret is from Oxford in England and has been brought to West Australia
by Perth Studio Potters with a grant from ARTS WA. She will visit Sydney in
October.
