Who Said Walk? Staffordshire Glaze Ceramic FlatbackWho Said Walk? is part of Rose Wallaces Flatback Figures series which is inspired by the traditional Staffordshire flatback ceramic mantlepiece. Rose employs original discarded objects, charged with meaning and concealed beauty as her starting point.

Who Said Walk? is part of Rose Wallace’s ‘Flatback Figures’ series which is inspired by the traditional Staffordshire flatback ceramic mantlepiece. Rose employs original discarded objects, charged with meaning and concealed beauty as her starting point. Whether it is an Eighteenth Century clay pipe, a 1950's jelly mould or a piece of contemporary plastic packaging, she references them in narrative form. Creating the ‘Flatback Figures’ can be a time consuming process, made of anything up to fifty separate ceramic elements, finished with Staffordshire glaze.
“In modern society, we buy so much but value so little. My ceramics aim to re-evaluate and challenge this notion.”
Dimensions: 22 x 23 x 8 cm.
The discarded object; whether it be a vintage domestic item, a mudlark’d find, even a piece of plastic packaging are all relevant to Rose’s creative process: to make comment on mass consumerism within contemporary society. The ‘Curious Babes’ are created from a cast of a ‘Frozen Charlotte’ Victorian doll mudlark’d from the Thames and mounted upon casts of discarded vintage ephemera. Rose has been involved with ceramics since 1998, attaining a first-class B.A. (hons) in 2008 and selected for the Craft Potters’ Association in 2010. In addition to her studio work in East Oxford, she runs pottery courses and workshops for Sunningwell School of Art and West Dean College. Rose has work in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery and Museum Leamington Spa, The Grimmerhus Museum, Denmark; The International Ceramics Research Centre, Denmark; Cannon Hall Museum, Barnsley; and the Ken Stradling Study Collection Bristol.
