These Porcelain Sculptures Blend into the Australian Bushland

Looks can be deceiving. Sometimes what seems to be natural is, in fact man-made (and vice versa). Such is the porcelain art of Sarah Rayner. Portraying seeds, pods, and twigs, her delicate sculptures are 100% handmade, making for a mezmerizing affect.

Look closely. Individually, her sculptures reveal hidden details, carefully crafted. But grouped together, they create an other-worldly landscape, awaiting to be discovered.

Living in bushland and surrounded by flora, Rayner gets her inspiration from her Australian surroundings.

“Porcelain has its own historical and cultural references to drawing rooms, aristocracy, purity, and luxury,” she writes on her personal website. “The earthiness of plants, the interconnected eco system, decay, and the cycle of life are distilled and accentuated by the cool, clean porcelain forms with their delicate pleats and clefts.”
