FIG is pleased to announce Stacked Vessels, our first exhibition of artwork by Louise Mordaunt. The ceramic work of Louise Mordaunt is often suggestive of organic forms such as exotic plants, flowers, gourds, seashells and sea anemone. Mordaunt’s pieces are charming and whimsical with maybe a hint of a dark side. Her vessels are confident and elegant explorations of ceramic traditions, especially the influence of Art Nouveau, while her free-form pieces and most recent totems push the boundaries of imagination with a touch of Alice in Wonderland-like fantasy. Her use of marks and glazes echo her earlier days as a painter, but while painting definitely informs her work, the physicality of ceramics has taken her artistic output to a new level.
