Eva Zethraeus (Swedish, b. 1971) is a ceramic artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Working primarily in porcelain, she creates exquisite and tenuous biomorphic sculptures that are at the intersection between representational and abstract. Inspired by marine life, Japanese Zen Buddhist gardens and viruses, Zethraeus’ works examine the beauty and phenomena of life cycles and replication, and the unpredictable variances that occur.

Ezeth's work is made in components and assembled, like Beate Kuhne she uses the potters wheel to create her pieces. Her work is also organic in style and aesthetic and like Kitson she is interested in natural forms and takes inspiration from the natural world. I do like these pieces, technically I think they are amazing, her construction is immaculate and it's all made in porcelain. Although there is some variety to the style of her pieces I do feel that using the wheel in the way she does seems to  restrict the potential shapes and forms that she can create. I can see why they appeal to people, the pieces echo sea creatures, plant life, organic matter, they are beautiful to look at and slightly uncanny. 

Juz Kitson is an Austrailian artist who uses clay as the predominant material in her surreal, mixed media sculptures.

Juz Kitson’s works are resplendent and dense. Complex and large scale, they are exquisite musings on nature’s cycles of metamorphosis, decay, beauty and abundance. As a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist, Kitson pushes the boundaries of material and meaning through her sculptural works. Kitson has mastered the use of porcelain and other clay bodies through intricate hand-building and slip casting. Like alchemy, Kitson incorporates these ceramic elements with hot and flameworked glass and natural materials, such as reclaimed animal pelts and furs and husks and tusks. The seductive combination of the construction and assemblage with hand built forms and found objects couple to form Kitson’s unsettling evocative morphologies. https://sophiegannongallery.com.au/artist/juz-kitson/ Accessed Sept 2022

Kitson's works holds fascination for me on a number of levels, her process of making, the use of assemblage of cast ceramics combined with other materials. The narratives in her work explore  the cyclical nature of life and our connection and role within this cycle and this has echoes to my own interests in the natural world and funghi. There is also a surreal, other worldly quality to the work which is simultaneously evocative and un-nerving and I am inspired to see if I can push my own work to develop in such a way.
