Gabriela Mello — 'Joy is Enough'

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.  Finalist in Korowa Art Prize
