Vipoo Srivilasa "Lai Krarm" series are based on ancient Thai blue and white domestic ware. The works utilize Clayworks ‘Cool Ice’, which is new Australian porcelain, as well as my own method of painting on unglazed clay surface.
The works explore my concerns about the modern world’s complex mixture of materialism, cross culture mingling, Buddhist philosophy and disposable culture.
I also uses age-old techniques of hand-pinching and hand-painting to emphasize the intimacy of human touch over the modern mechanical world we find ourselves inhabiting.
