SCULPTURAL CUPS IN PORCELAIN WITH HAND PAINTED BIRDS
- Description
These tea cups are made in porcelain and painted with cobalt oxide. It took six weeks to make, progressing through the full process of building, drying, first firing, painting, glazing, and final firing to become a finished piece. Food safe and liquid tight. The work emerges from Tülay Kulbay's exploration of her layered cultural heritage, Turkish, Swedish, and French, and her ongoing dialogue with materials, form, and the body.
Two hand painted birds appear on the cup, facing one another engaged in a gentle, open ended discourse. Their meaning is intentionally left to the viewer's interpretation. They might suggest freedom, transformation, rebirth, or simply the presence of a bird.
These cups exist between function and symbolism, reflecting Kulbay's sculptural intuitive approach to ceramics, where the material and making process guide the final form.
