A Disfigurine
Disfigurines created by Claire Parsons, are a ceramic series using satire to pervert the traditional, cloying romanticised life portrayed in figurines. Cleansed for the most part of surface decoration, instead of a Victorian idyll, model poses are re-appropriated to create a darker Hogarthian representation of modern life in porcelain.
