1st Prize
Afternoon Tea by Libby Usher
2024
Porcelain
H 12cm, W 6.5cm, D 7cm
‘An annoying conversation, or the moment after a sudden eye roll. This girl has seen it all and she’s not impressed. An ode to 2024.’
NOTE* This girl has a run of glaze down the back. I like to work with glazes that run to move away from the idea of perfect being desirable. I am imperfect and so are my sculptures.
