The New Year is the perfect time to refresh your space with the exquisite porcelain botanicals of Ruth Chambers.
Her handbuilt bulbs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables are crafted from delicately colored porcelain, capturing various stages of their growth with precision. The artist thoughtfully designs and meticulously hand-builds each sculpture, showcasing extraordinary attention to detail.
Ruth Chambers’ work is rooted in ceramics, where she playfully and decoratively intervenes with objects—often architecturally inspired—by adorning them with foliage-based porcelain ornamentation and intricate lattice structures.
Her ongoing exploration of the still life tradition, with its inherent considerations of space, form, and time, informs her delicate micro-compositions of fragile and improbable porcelain configurations. Through this approach, the artist delves into themes of beauty and temporality, engaging with the "metaphysics of the object" in a thought-provoking manner.
