Internal Happiness

Overview

Endearing, gleeful, kitsch. The works of Belinda Stanton are so much more than clay, more beautiful than your average home wares, and more dynamic than simple sculptures.

These little creations fill the everyday with a bit of magic, and make anyone smile at their intricate simplicity. Making sugar bowls, mugs, egg dishes and tray sets with little content 3D faces is a stroke of genius; to craft them with such beauty and understanding of the human form would be disorientating if it weren’t so clear these creatures were to be viewed and marvelled rather than engaged in conversation.

The minute detail that is involved in the creation of each work almost makes it a shame to use it the way it was intended – perhaps to serve afternoon tea to lucky visitors – and yet any excuse to view the items, be it in your kitchen or an art gallery, is one that will surely create great internal happiness.
