Amy Victoria Marsh’s minimalist ceramics come in all sorts of funny shapes and they’re based on a simple, pastel color palette. Their purpose is to spread joy and happiness, inspire humor and put a giant smile on our face.
Marsh is a Manchester-based artist who’s been working as an illustrator for a very long time, but then she reached into the world of ceramics when she signed up for a ceramics class. Ever since she was a child she loved creating and collecting tiny objects, so her love for this creative art form is not surprising at all.
“I was madly into toys such as Polly Pocket and Sylvanian Families and loved looking at illustrated stamps. Looking back at my childhood it’s no wonder I’m making some of the work I am today,” the artist said in an interview with It’s Nice That.
Marsh visited Japan in 2016, and this country, its culture, art and cuisine, inspire most of the tiny artworks she creating today.
“From the typography found everywhere, to the personification of most objects, the Japanese have a unique take on design, which I find hugely inspiring,” she said.
