About the Art

Two Faced Ceramics (2FC) was derived from the idea of someone or something presenting itself in multiple ways. It was inspired by the Eve’s eclectic taste and personal mental health investigation, all of which informed her chosen method of production. In order to create different moods, evoke different emotions, and inspire different ideas, the artist developed a slip-casting system to produce multiples of each sculptural form, allowing experimentation with glaze finish ‘personalities’ for each piece.

2FC creates visual harmony by merging repetition and balance with asymmetry and irregularity. These amorphous forms draw inspiration from a wide array of sources, such as the human body, insects, natural formations, and architecture.
