3D Paper Sketches in Porcelain by London-based Katharine Morling
Katharine Morling
creates whimsical, life-sized ceramic sculptures that look like life-size sketches of
everyday objects, which she describes as ‘"three-dimensional drawings."

"My work can be described as 3 dimensional drawings, in the medium of ceramics. Each piece, on the surface, an inanimate object, has been given layers of emotion and embedded with stories, which are open for interpretation in the viewer’s mind.
