Erosion by Tamsin van Essen

British ceramicist Tamsin van Essen created layered porcelain which she then skillfully sandblasted, leaving a beautiful organic pattern of black and white, for her 'Erosion' series.



"This work explores erosion and the disruption of form. Focusing on biological erosion, I wanted to convey the idea of a host being attacked and eaten away by a parasitic virus, highlighting the creeping spread of the infection as it corrupts the body."



"I have produced a series of angular porcelain forms, sandblasted to wear the surface and reveal inner strata. This aggressive process, contrarily, creates a delicate vulnerability in the shape. The translucency of the porcelain and the interruption of the surface make it possible to glimpse through to layers beneath, creating a tension between the seen and the obscured."



Her artworks currently on display at Scin Gallery, London.
