Metamorphs de Mini Porcelaine, The Bearer of Non-Time (Black-naped Oriole)

by Christine R. Bay

The Black-naped oriole is me,
The Bearer of my own,
Happiness, Sadness, Pain, Grief, Strength.

The “Home” that I seek,
Longing,
Lost in the fleeting external.

But perhaps,
It’s found,
Within my timeless eternal internal.

Part of the mini painted faux porcelain series, the Metamorphs are symbolistic creatures about personal transformation and growth. This series juxtapose the fragile-looking raised “stroke” of white and blue porcelain against a stark black background.

This is a mixed media piece with raised areas created using super heavy gesso. The faux porcelain is achieved using acrylic paints and varnish and the ultra black background is finished with Musou black pigment. Piece comes ready-to-hang with a sawtooth-hook.

*For collectors in the US, as I am based in Singapore, please note that this artwork cannot be shipped to the US at the moment.

Size: 4.25" x 3.75"
Mediums: Mixed media (acrylics, Musou black pigment, super heavy gesso, wood, varnish)
