For the next installation from our Michael Reid Clay platform, Fiona Alvarez has produced a vibrant collection of intimately scaled ceramic vessels that will be on show at Michael Reid Murrurundi at the end of this month.

A ceramic artist living and working in Eora/Sydney, Fiona holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has spent many years working across film, design and community art spaces.

Applying flocking fibre and slipcasting techniques, Alvarez sculpts striking, idiosyncratic forms in miniature and coats them with intense pigments to produce a matte, powdery patina almost reminiscent of Luis Barragán’s desert modernism.

From Yves Klein Blue to Schiaparelli Pink, the vessels’ bold palette is enhanced by their subtly textured finish, forming perfectly petite jewels that light up their surroundings.
