Sue Mundy's "Lignum III" stands as a striking example of contemporary ceramic artistry, masterfully crafted from white stoneware that has been transformed through firing techniques to achieve its rich, wood-like appearance. Rising to 27 cm in height, this elegant sculptural piece evokes the weathered form of driftwood or ancient timber, with its elongated silhouette tapering to a refined point. Mundy has skillfully incorporated textural elements that mimic the natural striations and grain of aged wood, complete with subtle variations in tone from deep charcoal to hints of amber. The piece maintains a delicate balance between organic irregularity and deliberate artistic intervention, creating a sense of both fragility and resilience.

The Sculptural Presence
When displayed, "Lignum III" commands attention through its vertical presence and the dialogue it creates between natural and crafted forms. The piece transforms any environment with its contemplative quality, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between ceramic traditions and organic materials. The work's textural complexity rewards viewing from multiple angles, with each perspective revealing new details in Mundy's interpretation of ligneous forms. This ceramic sculpture demonstrates how contemporary craft can honour natural elements while simultaneously transcending them, creating a quiet yet powerful statement that resonates with themes of transformation and permanence.
