‘Lavish Flow’ is a ceramic wall installation delving into the flow of glaze by artist Chloe Monks. The works are displayed in a museological manner – as though they are archaeological fragments. The shapes forms and floating fragments express freedom, immediacy, and movement. Chloe has presented an array of glaze batches, that are salvaged from leftover glaze experiments and teaching workshops, that showcase the range of glazes that have been repurposed. The textural surfaces encourage a flow of glaze, creating concave spaces for glazes to pool and exaggerated angles for the glaze to break across. A flow of time that dazzles through the splashes, the vertical lines, and the cosmos-like depths in the works.
