Kristin Burgham — 'Amphora' in Fern, Sculptural Vessel

This Amphora is stunning on its own or as part of a group of objects. It is beautiful piece that can hold a display of dry flowers or fresh flowers provided a water tight vessel is placed inside. Due to its construction the amphora 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 works result in assemblages imbued with colour, scale and memory. Her works acknowledge and reflect on industry and its social history.

Burgham studied Fine Arts at RMIT and graduated in 2019. She has exhibited Internationally including during Milan Design Week in 2024. Her works are held in the public collections of National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of Ballarat, Shepparton Art Museum and Yarrila Arts and Museum.
