CONGRATULATIONS

Many west coast friends of Peta Hall will be pleased to
hear of her 'Forms and Feelings! porcelain exhibition held
recently at Alvin Gallery in Hong Kong. The vessels had
carved and altered perimeters depicting abstract land and
sea scapes. The pieces were fired in oxidation to 1260°,
using combinations of barium and nickel to create a rich
palette of glazes from crimsons through deep bottle greens
to midnight blues. Peta comments of her work, "I love to
carve porcelain, I love to see its fluid shapes, and feel
its movement, its fragile delicacy intrigues me, and its
pure color is like a canvas awaiting the splash of-vibrant
paint".
Alvin Gallery is the only art gallery of its kind in feng
Kong, catering to a growing awareness amongst the residents
of contemporary art forms in clay.
