CAMILLA BLISS
CAMILLA BLISS
Bliss works in London as a contemporary designer and ceramicist making lighting, artworks and sculptures.
Bliss takes most of her inspiration from historical practices, social rituals. Narrative is an important element of her work informed by her interest in mythical tales. Colours and materials are deliberately chosen for the cultural associations. Her method of making also points to traditions, coiling and purposefully leaving texture and imperfections to show the hand-made nature of the piece.

A casualty during the drying process of this mug, but i am repurposing it into a plant pot instead.
Eye-catching patterns I've noticed about recently.

I noticed this in town recently. The artist has no about information, hasn't named himself on instagram and is not selling any work. Kai Ohlsen 'exhibits' his work in public spaces and re-purposing waste materials such as old mattresses in the street. The disregard for traditional gallery spaces could be interpreted as a comment on the art canon's overbearing presence in the art world. It seems to be a rejection of the art market and commercial society. The website also reflects this stating 'nothing is available' in capital, red lettering and '© Nothing copyrighted, it's art. There are no rules. ' is written at the bottom.
I found this sort of philosophy very interesting, it's almost selfless as Ohlsen isn't looking for any personal gratification or recognition. It's art for the sake of art, which I find really beautiful. Also, I like the impressionist, bold strokes and use of colour in his work.
