Countless Ceramic Beads Make Up One Incredible Whole

fenella elms

British artist Fenel­la Elms cre­ates ceram­ic art­works that are com­prised of intri­cate, metic­u­lous­ly-placed porce­lain beads. They are con­struct­ed intu­itive­ly, mean­ing that there’s no for­mal plan for their com­po­si­tion. The var­ied ori­en­ta­tion of the pieces result in a chang­ing per­spec­tive depend­ing on your van­tage point.

So, how does Fenel­la do it? The indi­vid­ual ele­ments (and there are so many!) are joined to a sheet of porce­lain with slip. Then, the entire thing is fired to make one sin­gle piece.  You can affix them to your wall for dis­play; I bet any one of ’em would look stunning!
