My third and last work was not inspired by any specific insect, as was the case with previous designs. I decided to use the insect motif, generally. the performance was inspired by the artist: Gareth Monson and his works. The colour inspiration for this project was the painting "Sunset" by Claude Monet.
My idea was to create an object resembling a vase, one with an open space at the top. I used the slab method to create the object and glue the parts together. On the outside, using ceramic rollers, I made patterns that were supposed to resemble patterns from insect wings.
For the underglaze application process, I used a sponge to obtain unevenly applied color.
After the process of changing the butterfly-shaped holes, I think that the whole thing has a more three-dimensional look, and more texture.
