Seascapes. Dreamscapes. Lightscapes
Amy Frankie Smith’s Sea Lamp collection showcases the delicate translucency of porcelain. Working with colour and expressive surface effects Amy “paints with light” by layering and mark making using her palette of coloured porcelain slips.
Amy’s lamps and artworks are inspired directly by the sea; the calm and connectedness felt when immersed in, or near water, she aims to convey the experience of and how the water feels; the light, energy, the reflections, colour of the water and momentary glimpses whilst swimming.
Amy’s background in architectural ceramics and her Churchill Fellowship inform her work in interiors, bringing the ambiance of the coast into homes and commercial spaces. Amy’s works with interior designers, shops and galleries as well as private customers. She enjoys making one-off pieces and commissions alongside her current collection.
