The Vestige Series compiles limited works, experiments, and form studies from Zoë Powell’s projects, representing an ongoing practice in the artist’s studio, released for the first time through Satyricon as a unique body of work. Each item is carefully finished to reference a minute version of one of her larger sculptures.
Items from this series resemble objects that might be housed in a Cabinet of Curiosities – – alongside pieces of natural history, falsified oddities, and historical relics. A collector of objects herself, Powell seeks to enchant others with these caches.
This series highlights a range of experimental ceramic surfaces, fired in different kilns. Despite the spectrum of colors and textures, the pieces complement one another and are ideally displayed in small groupings.
