KIRSTEN PERRY
-
Kirsten Perry is a Melbourne/Naarm-based ceramic artist with a background in Fine Art (Gold and silversmithing), Industrial Design, and Multimedia. She is a self-taught ceramicist. Perry predominately slip-casts mid-fired functional and non-functional vessels that pay homage to traditional ceramics.
The bio-morphic objects Perry creates are initially carved from disposable materials such as foam and cardboard and then translated into ceramic. Something is gained in this translation; somehow more than the evidence of her process, such as the hope and joy that difference can offer.
Perry's process highlights the texture of the foam and cardboard and often exaggerates imperfection. She is attracted to flaws and vulnerabilities. The objects have an unusual beauty — what she imagines to be some sort of living organism from a planet far away.

Room for growthVases don’t have to aspire to holding long stem red roses. Vases can hold little snippets from a morning walk, from a weed in the footpath, from a branch in your garden. The average day can hold subtle beauty in many forms. Little growths can be set aside in a special container to be viewed, admired, and elevated in status.
Kirsten Perry is interested in sculpture that can hold growth, and unexpected relationships. She enjoys the contrast between organic growth that slowly decays and the solid, sturdy grounding qualities of ceramics.
Perry’s vases are influenced by organic forms with elements of engineering and evidence of a shaky hand. Manipulating materials through the casting process then balancing form, volume, and space.
