The decorations are with dry matt slips, in colours unusual for ceramics; the early work uses pale colours, then for a number of years she used stronger blues and green and more recently she has turned to monochrome forms. This decoration is often influenced by music, painting and literature. Fritsch, Elizabeth. First name:. Speaking about her influences, Fritsch has said; The metaphysical function of certain kinds of buildings is to convey transcendence, spiritual exaltation, serenity, et cetera.
This is most potent when there is an inter-relationship with music or the airy element, appearance and disappearance or extreme drama, as in monasteries, cathedrals, temples, tombs, and theatres. Even more than in such intentionally metaphysical buildings, certain mundane physically functional architecture carries a strong other-worldly poetic charge- all the stronger perhaps for being an unintentional by-product of the physical function, as in, for example, lighthouses, windmills, telescopes, bridges, boats, dams.
It is the dangerous elemental relationships which make precision engineered buildings such as these breathtaking.
