Piha Matte
Dimensions: 85mm H x 120mm W
(Dimensions may vary very slightly between pieces received)
I started making these items after returning from a trip to Germany. My partner and I were visiting family and come back for Christmas. This time of year, southwest Germany is truly beautiful. Castles lit up with Christmas lights and the outside cold pushing you towards the fire pace to share stories, good food, and warm drinks.
When returning to New Zealand I began making work for a local Gallery on the west coast of Auckland and I wanted to capture that same feeling of the elements bringing people together.
Piha is a rugged black sand landscape in the Waitakere ranges. Using materials dug from local sources and blended with white stoneware the clay brings soft pink and red tones creating a surface that speaks of the environment from which it has come. It has been glazed with a white matte glaze to extenuate for form beneath.
