Chamber pot A tua ausência
Lisboa
Unique piece commissioned by Felipa Almeida for the Amor é Cego (love is blind) exhibition at Livraria Lello in Porto, in homage to the novel Amor de Perdição by Camilo Castelo Branco.
Hunchback Society, the artist duo Madalena Parreira and Jorge Nesbitt, collaborate at every stage of the process, from modelling the clay to firing and glazing.
Part of a set of seven pieces, the Inkpot evokes the time period of the novel, the convent, and the exchange of secret love letters between Teresa and Simão.
It was hand-sculpted in stoneware and glazed in a colour created by the artists to approximate the tone of 17th-century Italian maiolica plates.
The selected phrase 'a tua ausência é o meu fim' (Your absence is my end) was painted with high-fire enamel on unglazed clay, using the maiolica technique.
A frase selecionada, "a tua ausência é o meu fim", foi pintada com esmalte de alta temperatura sobre argila não vidrada, utilizando a técnica da majólica.
