I have just been introduced to the work of Rupert Spira. In my last piece of work I had started to make the writing more abstract as if the poem or saying were covered up by years of paint or rubbed away from use. I like the idea of the writing on my work becoming more like a pattern, creating intrigue, with the viewer left guessing what was once written there. Rupert Spira’s work has that feel, with intricate writing covering the surface of the bowl like a delicate repeated pattern.
