Although I haven't blogged ceramics here for years I often save beautiful ceramicists and ceramic finds on my Pinterest and one of these ceramicists has led me to these works by Rob Strati who using smashed fragments of historic ceramics, has been reinterpreting and growing these scenes using biro on paper and then sometimes animating the results. They're a unique and interesting take on broken crockery.
"This work was inspired by a plate from my wife's late mother, Barbara. One day it was dropped and shattered. Some time after, I picked up a pen and started working on the "Fragmented" series, exploring the possibilities of things broken and the stories that can evolve from them." Robert Strati
Love these!
