Postcard from Liscannor, Clare, Eire. From my mother's collection of family letters and photos, held in Townsville, Queensland. A long story of connections and intersections. Reticulae, in fact. The image depicts seaweed gathering, once a crucial part of the local subsistence economy. I photographed this in 2005. The postcard from Kate is undated. Elements of this, including her words of correspondence handwritten, verso, found their way into the ceramic series and exhibition 'Return (Porcelain: Time, Light, Loss), 2006'.
A porcelain disk/dish with glaze 'stencil'. High-fired to a translucent state, with textural depth. Not a decal. Part of the set savannah town tea 2007. The 'pattern' is my mother's lace curtain; one of many that once graced the windows of tropical-zone towns where windows were open all day, most months of the year. The one time we had to close them was during a good Wet or active cyclone season. A Townsville remnant.
