Pitcher
1991 |
| Gill's interest in painting and fifteenth-century decorated pottery, such as Spanish and Italian tin-glazed majolica, has inspired the surface treatment of her vases. This vessel brings to mind a large pitcher, with its pinched spout and two-dimensional handle. The repeat pattern of dancing goblets suggests a lively celebration is about to commence. |
