Fire and Water is a continuation of Kay Aplin’s investigation into micro-flora which has been the focus of her practice since 2013. Kay used a digital microscope to magnify micro flora as the starting point for her tile-based designs, leading to the wall-mounted roundels of Asturian Flora in soda woodfired and oxidized porcelain which make up Fire and Water.
‘Fire’ refers to the woodfiring technique employed to fire the ceramics whilst ‘water’ references the site of a natural spring in Asturias, Spain, the source of the plants. The result is a mixed media experience that extends our understanding of form and texture in relation to landscape. The work was created for Collect 2019, Saatchi Gallery, London.
These pieces are available for sale or by commission (specific sizes can be made).
Composition: woodfired and oxidised porcelain tiles applied to steel with magnets.
Largest piece (honewort roundel): 1.25m diameter, turquoise piece (Toadlfax roundel) 0.85m, green (Moon Carrot roundel): 0.6m, blue (Milkwort roundel) 0.65m, smaller fire roundels (Hellibore 0.6m Tormentil 0.55m).
