description: Martinis and MayhemBy artist: Nicola BrockettCeramic. 25 x 10 x 20 cm"Martinis and Mayhem" is a hand-built ceramic vase featuring whimsical, hand-painted imagery that explores the exhibition theme "Not My Monkey, Not My Circus". At the centre of the piece, a woman is reclining on a lilo, calmly reading a book and sipping a martini while sunning herself, and seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding around her. Circus tents sink, performers scramble, and mayhem erupts, yet she remains perfectly unbothered. Painted in bright, vibrant colours and packed with intricate detail, the work invites viewers to look closely and discover the many humorous narratives hidden within the scene. Inspired by the visual delight of a "Where's Wally?" illustration, the vase rewards repeated viewing, revealing new characters and moments of chaos with each glance. Through humour and playful storytelling, Martinis and Mayhem reflects on the art of detachment, reminding us that not every problem is ours to solve.About the artist.Nicola Brockett is a ceramic artist creating handmade functional and decorative pottery inspired by colour, nature, and everyday beauty.
