About MeRebecca de Quin graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in nineteen-ninety, and since then has combined silversmithing practice with teaching. In her recent work, she has concentrated on jug shapes and pouring vessels. This finished jug has a scored and folded body, formed as a cylinder. As an upright form it would be simple and elegant, but its leaning characteristic makes us think about balance, stability and spatial awareness. De Quin is concerned with the sculptural qualities of the object, rather than its function.
This working drawing shows a variety of elevations and views and a series of proposals for the placement of the handle. The Leaning Jug 2005 and its working model are in the gallery collection.
