Female Magazine: The Analogue Issue

For Female magazine’s Analogue Issue, artists were invited to reinterpret the letter F through their own medium. We made ours in porcelain.

Rather than depict textiles, we used clay to hold their trace. Lace and other fabrics were pressed into the surface of the F, leaving their weave and ornament behind after the cloth was lifted away. Porcelain felt a natural counterpart to lace: delicate, intricate and easily broken.

Red thread was stitched through the form and left deliberately undone. Against the pristine white porcelain, its irregular line interrupts the surface, leaving the work on the verge of unravelling.
