NATASHA DAINTRY (B. 1966)

NATASHA DAINTRY (B. 1966), Blue Coral, porcelain, multiple small thrown cylinders in varying blue glazes, incised signatures

Provenance: Private Collection, London

Notes:

‘My thrown forms are pared-down and minimal. Their potency comes from a tension of opposites. They defy gravity with their floating pale rims but are also steeped in a visceral materiality. The glazes are fat. They overflow, and roll plumply around bases with an edible quality, like luminous lemon curd. I revel in the exhilarating risk of making technically demanding large forms to show off porcelain’s muscular power and simultaneous delicacy. The scattered cylinders are tiny but intense, like Persian miniature paintings’ Natasha Daintry
