About the work:

Artificial Kingdom Candle Holder in Porcelain with Glaze and Opal Lilac Lustre by Ebony Russell.

This piece is made in collaboration with Modern Times exclusively for Illuminated; a series of limited-edition artist-made candle holders intended to provide a beautiful solitary moment, or contribute to a shared experience.

“The first object and most significant piece of ceramic art I own is a candle holder. The lighting of this candle was so special and rare that the wax is preserved and the scent takes me back to my childhood in an instance. Childhood reverie and the nostalgic longing overwhelms me. My candle holders are imbued with memory and desire. Butterflies and roses decorated with lustrous pearls and glittering embellishments wait for their moment to shine. The lighting of their candle is the only way to break their frozen spell and give them life again. They forlornly wait trying to capture you in their fairytale spell,” says Ebony.

About the Artist:

Ebony Russell is an Australian artist currently based in Sydney whose work focuses on notions of nostalgia and desire imbued in collected objects. Using an experimental construction method to produce sculptures made of piping – a technique usually reserved for the cake decorating craft of royal icing – she has developed a process that allows her to create forms that seem to defy their own making.
