Justine Allison - Porcelain VesselsJustine Allison - Ceramics Since leaving college in 1998 Justine Allison has been working solely with hand-built porcelain creating semi-functional pieces. Her work addresses the boundaries between function and decoration by looking at objects that are used on a daily basis, such as the form of a jug or a cup and creating pieces that move away from function and are more concerned with the aesthetic and the visual. Justine’s work is very much concerned with the simplicity and beauty of the porcelain clay. Some pieces incorporate subtle drawn lines or texture on the surface of the white porcelain. Others are subtly glazed or embellished with gold leaf on the outer surface in contrast with the inner white porcelain. Because her vessels are hand-built, Justine can achieve a delicate thinness in each piece. She is also fascinated by the transforming effect of light on the physical properties of porcelain
