Heron by Francesca Anfossi

Heron is one of the series of ceramic stools Anfossi has made with seats reclaimed from London Plane wood. Inlaid into this one are the footprints and egg of the bird species Heron. Through this piece of work, Anfossi invites the reader to reflect on the entanglement of the urban and the natural, the domestic and the wild.

About the Artist

Francesca Anfossi’s interdisciplinary practice takes the tradition of crafts as a starting point to make and collaborate, using ceramic as a core material. Inspired by the very nature of clay — a versatile, inclusive and non-hierarchal material — her various projects are conceived in direct collaboration with communities and evolve according to their needs. Her work most often takes the form of workshops, cooking classes or communal events, and offers to the participants involved opportunities to learn new skills and form new social bonds.

Francesca Anfossi is also the director of Rochester Square, a dynamic space in London dedicated to socially-engaging projects and artistic collaborations, where she recently completed the installation of temporary ceramic facilities for recreational use by artists and others.
