Mali Taylor — 'Mesos', Sculptural Vase

This Mesos Vase has been constructed through the methodical process of hand rolled coils using earthy stoneware clays that exhibit flecks of glossy minerals. The interior has been sealed with a lustrous white glaze which contrasts the organic matte exterior making this piece perfect to display your favourite collection of flowers. Each piece is innately unique and transcends the divide between art object and functional ware.

Please note that those beautiful mineral flecks can be sharp so please handle with care.

Mali Taylor is a ceramic artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Her hand coiled works are inspired by dendrochronology (the study of tree rings), ripples in water and strata levels exposed in cliff faces and mountain ranges. The forms of her sculptural pieces are heavily influenced by topographical maps of mountains and natural landforms such as boulders, rocks, rivers and termite mounds.

Taylor was a finalist in Craft Victoria fresh! 2019 and received the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, Emerging Craft Practitioner Award, 2019. Taylor completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Ceramics) at RMIT, 2019.
