Kristin Burgham — 'Short Neck Bottle' in Fern, Sculptural Vessel

This bottle has an unusually short neck. It complements many of the other pieces in Kristin Burgham collection. It is equally beautiful on its own. Due to its construction the bottle is not water tight. It can be 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.
