"Dancing Tomato" ceramic bud vase by Yang Qiu from November 2024.
Shaped and coloured like a luscious, red, heirloom tomato, this playful bud vase is mounted on six, black shoe clad legs.
While perfectly lovely on its own, it can also be filled with water to display a few small blooms.

Yang Qiu is a prolific interdisciplinary artist based in Sydney, Australia.
Informed by her background as a pastry chef, her unique approach to ceramic creation, involves transforming local produce, such as corn, eggplants, and mandarins, into functional ceramic sculptures, all while exploring the shapes and surfaces of food in her paintings.
She imbues her work with a sense of whimsy and childlike wonder, often characterising her creations with faces and legs, as though imbuing them with personalities and identities.
