Aldo Londi, artistic director of Bitossi Ceramiche, made his most famous collections by engraving, stamping and using relief within the moulds to give detail to the clay surfaces. It is these techniques that inspire Bethan Laura Wood’s new collection, having visited the company historical archive, which is an endless source of decorative themes and colours.
In this collection, the surface is the protagonist; the incision is the first decorative sign, colour is the second, thus creating a double language on the same surface, which is nearly a three-dimensional process. Bethan Laura Wood creates an expressive pattern rhythm of graphic shapes and flowing lines derived from the stained glass window of the New Basilica of Our Lady of Guadeloupe (Mexico City). This pattern wraps itself around a variation of forms inspired by Bitossi Ceramiche’s 1950s to 1970s archive.
