Curtain Coral




I think this is the piece that caught the attention of a few people. Enough attention to prompt getting me invited to join the STARs exhibition.

It was made from slabbing porcelain clay. I was inspired to create this piece after taking so many photos of the coral around the Similan Islands, off the coast of Phuket.

This item sold for THB 25,000

I was proud to see it sold.

I shouldn't need my work to be sold to get a sense of my worth as an artist. It should be enough to create art for the sake of creating. And it is. I love the process. However, when things do sell, there is also pride and pleasure that other people value what I do.
