Kristin Burgham — 'Medium Cylinder' in Snow, Sculptural Vessel

This cylinder is perfect on its own or as part of a larger group of objects. It can be used to store things like pencils and flowers. The cylinder is made from porcelain and is lined in soy wax so it can hold water. It can be gently washed in warm water.

Kristin Burgham is a Melbourne based ceramicist working with industrial ceramic production processes and found objects. She works with discarded objects to explore and build on the narrative of both the abandoned object and evidence of its maker. Her hand-built porcelain objects result in assemblages imbued with colour, scale and memory. Her works acknowledge and reflect on industry and its social history.

Burgham has studied ceramics in Australia and Hong Kong and her work has been acquired by Shepparton Art Museum for their public collection and is also in private collections. She completed a BFA at RMIT in 2019 and won the RMIT Ceramics Association judges choice award in 2019.
