The story of the ocean: a young ceramicists perspective
The story of the ocean by Hannah Jacobson
How do I tell the story of the ocean?
‘Ocean’, Mother, Nourisher, Giver of Life.
The ‘Ocean’ gifts an infinite bounty of fragility, beauty and uniqueness, while it guards objects that embody the passage of time.
Each mark in the surface tells this story of time, persistence and permanence. ‘Ocean’ fills me with a sense of peacefulness, stillness and tranquillity. Being in the ‘Ocean’ impacts all five senses at once.
Listen to the waves crashing.
Smell the fresh salty air.
Taste the salt water in your mouth.
Feel the sand in your hands.
Embrace the beauty of the form.
Embody the feelings of awe, wonder and harmony.
Like the tide, let these moments wash over you.
Below feature some of the incredible ceramic pieces Hannah has made, inspired by her love for the ocean.
