About the Work
“I
didn’t
expect
to
learn
so
much
about
ceramics
when
I
moved
to
Whanganui,
but
through
visiting
Rick
Rudd’s
excellent
Quartz
Museum
of
Studio
Ceramics,
meeting
the
local
potters
and
curating
an
object-based
exhibition
myself,
I’ve
gained
an
appreciation
for
the
artform
and
made
a
move
towards
starting
a
ceramics
collection
of
my
own.
This
work
was
a
fixture
of
workday
life,
as
it
sat
in
the
office
near
a
colleague’s
desk.
I
love
the
simplicity
of
form
and
muted
colours
of
this
work
and
the
other
similar
still
life
works
by
Ann
in
the
collection,
that
take
inspiration
from
the
painter
Giorgio
Morandi.
Ann
throws
humorous
wildcards
into
these
works
too,
such
as
adding
a
juice
box
to
the
arrangement.”
