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 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. She will undertake her first artist residency in Southern Italy in 2024.
