Cascading Down Sculpture

Handmade from stoneware, this abstract sculpture features a geometric staircase with a wave flowing down the steps. It has a 24 karat gold lustre edge that beautifully catches the light. At the tip of the wave sits a ‘golden egg'. Within the staircase is a circular hollow with another floating ‘golden egg’, suspended by gold lacquered copper wire.

Created by Miyelle at her studio in Hackney, London, this unique piece is part of her latest ceramic collection “Evolving Femininity” which explores, honours and challenges notions of womanhood. The pieces in the collection reflect biological themes such as the cyclical transformation of our menstrual cycle, aging and fertility. While also focussing on the emotional and lifestyle changes we navigate as our lives progress.

The piece is made from textured stoneware and the staircase is unglazed so you can admire the light cream colour of the clay. The wave is a separate piece that balances atop the stairs. It is glazed in a smooth satin cream glaze with a 24 karat gold lustre edge. The golden eggs are glazed with a satin glaze and painted with 24 karat gold lustre with some visible brush strokes. There is a softness and imperfection attributed to the handmade nature of the piece with visible textural markings from the clay and making process.
