The work Tiffany Diamond is an over sized brilliant cut diamond. This work embodies material wealth.

Elise O'NeillHello, I am a Ceramic artist working from my home studio in Dunedin. I studied at Otago Polytechnic School of Art and graduated in 2006 with a BFA sculputure major. Since finishing my degree my practice has followed two main paths. In one direction I have been making ceramic sculpture which explores consumerism and culture, i am especially interested in food and our love/hate, need/want relationship with it.
The other direction is a collaborative project with designer Karen Taylor O'Neill. Together we have designed and are producing (in my home studio) an artisan range of domestic ware.
The more i learn about Ceramics the more i realize there is to know. Its a complex, exciting and surprising medium and i am seduced by its versatility, functionality and beauty.
