of Fine Arts, Mimicry is something clay does well. My work has often explored clay's chameleon like character. Mad Queen Monteith is an eccentric addition to the Allport dining room. In the 18th Century Monteiths were primarily made of silver. They were used to chill wine glasses upside down with stems resting in the notched rim. Rendered in the form of a crown, Mad Queen Monteith is a curious porcelain object that embodies iconic motifs from Lewis Carroll's extraordinary and bizarre tale.
