Gabriela Mello — 'Joy is Enough XIII'

These sculptural ceramic forms sit with in Gabriela Mello's ongoing series Joy is Enough, where clay becomes a site for emotional calibration rather than a search for perfection. These works can hold water, however I have oil stick on the inside and outside surface and my intention is for them to be sculptures but they have the ability to hold water.
