Collection: AS WE SEE THROUGH RAINFALL

Showcase by British Ceramic Artist Chloé Rosetta Bell

This collection reflects Chloé's connection to coastal landscape and material. Soft glazes in gentle greens and blues echo tidal shallows, chalk shoreline and sea-worn vegetation. The interaction between glaze, clay, and residual shell creates moments of delicate unpredictability - a peaceful chaos suspended within calm surfaces.

Developed during a year of new motherhood, the flower vessels are shaped to hold water that sustains blooms, allowing water to become a lens through which plants are viewed and reimagined. Each piece becomes a sensory reflection of place, care and the subtle transformation of how we see.

"This past year I was thinking about new life, and how the experience of mothering impacts the way you see the world. When people, animals, and nature are in motion with a small being discovering it for the first time, the world appears different than it did before. The process of creating these flower vessels felt very connected to that - the water became a lens to view an impression of plants, altered from how we see them in life.

Shaping objects to contain and display water that sustains the blooms, the vessel themselves became amplified and detailed; the glaze surface heightened. A step from this in the home, to other small notices outside - the eye roaming for a plant’s flowering, gentle rain, kneeling on soft earth to examine flowers more closely, pushing aside the tangle of leaves. The wind ceases, and as we see through rainfall, flowers rise."
