Daphne Corregan

She depicts contrasts strongly in an object by joining together two forms.She has explored and deepened this idea over the past years.Her artworks embody the contrast which she loves so much:ornamental floral patterns from folkloric fabrics, especially the Chinese peony, with a simple, ugly or uncouth shape.The two sides are united, they help each other to co-exist and become something new.Raku is essential for her decorations and style.In China, she developed a comparable effect by experimenting with a black fired layer under the white engobe layer on stoneware.
