ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: DAPHNE VERLEY
Ceramist Daphné Verley’s whimsical clay totems caught my eye a couple of years ago, and I am now an avid follower of both her, and her daughter, fashion designer Alix of Bohemia’s, Instagram accounts.
I am captivated by the lines, colour and height of every piece in Verley’s series. Each deconstructable totem is distinctively its own, but together, an incredibly striking visual is created.
The artist’s description of her series offers further insight:
“Despite precarious balance and divergent turns, these totems stand tall highlighting the power and elegance of the women they represent, collectively or alone.”
Imagine one of Verley’s totems standing proud in a light-filled hallway – a beacon of strength, grace, and creativity for all those who pass by, and admire its warm and fluid figure.
