A SMALL, STILL, SURREAL, TOWN.
Houses in Skælskør, Denmark.
This body of work was made in response to Verity’s observations of the domestic buildings in the town of Skælskør during her 2015 residency at Guldagergaard, International Ceramic Research Centre, Denmark. Verity was influenced by the rich colours and the highly textured tiled roofs of the Danish houses.
Walking through Skælskør, the streets were empty and still, the houses being the only strong sense of human presence. The forms Verity created reference Skælskør’s shadowy dwellings in the evening. The collection of work took on a life of its own and stood together, a small, still, surreal town.
These pieces range in height from 17cm - 23cm and are made using a variety of Danish clays before being woodfired. All photos courtesy of Ole Akhøj.
A selection of these pieces are available to purchase directly from Verity’s studio. Please CONTACT Verity if you require further details about the works.
