'Form: 'Oval Rotation'
1999

In the late 1990s, Felicity Aylieff began a series of large press-moulded forms using a terrazzo-like clay body containing aggregates of glass and ceramic. These sculptural works were consummately crafted, yet their precise forms and polished stone-like surfaces show little evidence of the hand.
