Ceramic Cup Urchin Sea-Blue

The Sea Cup series chronicles Sydney harbour and its inhabitants, honouring marine scientists and volunteers who regenerate our coast, save endangered species and protect the ocean in its role as the largest carbon sink on the planet. Cups invite hospitality; they kindle communion and bring friends together.

Dimensions: (H x D) 8cm x 8.3cm

Materials: Porcelain, glaze

As a ceramic artist connected to the Northern Beaches culture, Susie Roberts uses the dual strength and fragility of porcelain to highlight the precious nature of the ocean and its curious creatures. Inspired by classical scientific art and a close relationship with the ocean, she works at the intersection of art and science, considering the beauty of the sea and its critical role as the largest carbon sink on the planet.
