ABOUT FRIDA

This porcelain bud vase is an homage to my heroine, Frida Kahlo. Limited edition, individually numbered.

As an artist, Kahlo fearlessly shared her deep, dark world with vivid and deeply personal work. She was very engaged in social and political issues, outspokenly unapologetic about her sexuality and fiercely rejected feminine beauty ideals.  Despite dressing to please no one but herself, her bright traditional clothing and distinguished monobrow have made her a timeless icon.

The design for this slip-cast porcelain vase is inspired by Frida On A White Bench (New York, 1939), the famous photograph rumoured lover Nickolas Muray took of her. To create the mould, I built on an old German doll face mould found at a flea market. I recognised their faces instantly: they brought me back to my German grandparents' house where I used to play with my mum's childhood dolls.

For these images, paper flower goddess Clare Margary of Paper Petal & Wild created the custom bunch of paper flowers to match the Frida vase.
