Issy Parker — 'Peace in Mind', Sculptural Ceramic Dish
Sharing Is Caring is a collection of gas-fired stoneware plates that use glaze painting as an expressive and evocative form of storytelling. Through layered surfaces and personal motifs, each piece offers a deliberate and intimate reflection on experience, place, and identity. Created in solitude on new land, the works capture quiet moments of observation and emotion. Transforming everyday encounters into contemplative, tactile expressions. Every stage of the process was completed by hand, including the firings, each lasting over 17 hours in a gas kiln I built and operate myself. This total immersion in making is central to the work: a physical and emotional investment that deepens the connection between form, story, and surface. The result is a body of work that feels lived-in and intentional, rich with presence, care, and emotional resonance.
