ASHES VESSEL FOR AUSTRALIAN CRICKET DELEGATION photo by Laura Thomas
Welsh Artist of the Year -- Applied Arts -- 2008
Laura Thomas was selected the 2008 Welsh Artist of the Year in Applied Arts. The competition which is organized by Cardiff's St. David's Hall, honors the most innovative and talented Welsh-born artists working or living in Wales.
Laura Thomas Commissioned to Create the Ashes Vessel for the Australian Cricket Delegation
Laura Thomas was recently commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government in partnership with the Arts Council of Wales and Safle - public art Wales to design and make the Ashes Vessel, which was presented by the Welsh Assembly Minister for Sport, Alun Ffred Jones to Dr John Bannon, director of Cricket Australia, at a media reception at Cardiff Castle in June 2009. "Laura Thomas, an exceptional young artist, has created a stunning piece of work which is a fitting reminder of this momentous occasion for Wales," said says David Alston, Arts Director for Arts Council of Wales.
The vessel takes its inspiration from the spin of a cricket ball and will not only be a commemoration of the first test match to take place in Wales, but also a symbol of friendship between Wales and Australia. The vessel will then be displayed in the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
This commission is the first piece of work that Thomas has made that moves away from her previous geometric forms into a more fluid aesthetic. The vessel which measures 55 x18cm, contains 33 taut, twisted hand-woven ribbons in gold Lurex and black cotton. As the ribbons cast their shadows on the surface below, the layered twists and turns have dramatic visual impact that changes as the viewer moves around the piece.
"The form of the piece seems suggestive to me of the flow of a closely-fought test match, says the Welsh Assembly Minister for Sport. "with high points at the beginning and end and with twists and turns throughout its course. In that way, I hope that it reflects this first test match in Wales and brings back fond memories of
the event for our Australian visitors." |
