Judith Davies' "Small Olive Green Touchstone" invites an intimate tactile experience through its compact porcelain form. This delicate ceramic piece (9 x 11 x 9 cm) features a smooth, pebble-like shape adorned with subtle striations of olive green pigments that flow across its surface, reminiscent of natural patterns found in river stones or coastal pebbles. Davies demonstrates exceptional technical skill in achieving the piece's organic quality, with the muted palette and gentle patterning creating a meditative quality that draws the viewer in for closer inspection. The artist's masterful understanding of how pigments interact with porcelain results in a piece that appears both crafted and somehow naturally formed.

Tactile Art in Contemporary Spaces
When displayed, this touchstone creates a focal point that belies its modest dimensions. The work's sensual, curved form invites handling, making it both a visual and tactile experience that connects the viewer to ancient traditions of worry stones and talismans. The piece transforms any surface it rests upon, whether a desk, shelf, or table, bringing a moment of calm contemplation to everyday environments. Davies' work exemplifies how contemporary ceramic art can bridge functionality and pure aesthetic expression, creating objects that enhance our living spaces through their quiet, understated presence.
