Yosemite Aster / Mountain Pride

Yosemite Aster / Mountain Pride is one from a series of stoneware vases with imagery inspired by pictorial field cards from Yosemite National Park. Their illustrative interpretations of Yosemite’s indigenous flora are painted directly onto the mould, embedding the imagery within the material and combining processes.

Each working on one side, Winneke and Felix paint quickly to ensure the coloured clay doesn’t dry. This results in spontaneous and energetic designs and vases with two sides in two slightly different, but perfectly matched, styles.
