Pippin Drysdale creates vivid and delicate masterpieces reflecting the vibrant landscapes of outback Australia. Often standing on a base no larger than the size of a 20-cent piece. Her process is labour-intensive and extremely technical, involving linear incisions through fine layers of glaze each added once the previous layer is completely dried. These delicate patterns cannot be achieved by spraying, with only small areas being able to be worked on at a time, taking days to create a single vessel.
