These are 'Broken Things' by Livia Marin; a selection of meticulous, process - oriented works which appropriate mass-produced and mass-consumed objects.
Beginning with forms such as a humble porcelain cup, bowl or jug, Marin turns familiar pieces into precious handcrafted art objects through distortion; essentially emphasising through imperfection their uniqueness and beauty.
Smooth melted rounds meet awkward corners, and pattern meets sheen and gloss in a collection unified by material and a swerve from the expected.
