Kirsti Matthews, Echo Vestige
Stoneware with matte white glaze, Artwork height 43cm
“Echo Vestige stands as a weathered remnant of time—part relic, part sentinel. Originally conceived with intent, she evolved through intuition, her form shaped less by control and more by surrender. Layers of stoneware have been coaxed into flow, draped, and eroded like cloth abandoned to the elements. Matte white glaze veils the surface like frost, broken by rivulets of oxide, ash glaze, and volcanic textures that bubble and crust like geological time condensed. She feels unearthed rather than made—a figure both ancient and enduring, as though the centuries have already claimed her, and she remains.”
