Topology is a wonderful visual source for artists. Knotted spheres, surfaces that use 4-space to avoid intersecting, planes that have no edges, a bottle that turns inside out. There is even the humble moebius strip that disguises itself as a 3-dimensional object even though it has only one edge and one side. I promise you won’t find any mathematics here. I like to say that I gather beautiful flowers from the field of Topology. Below are some notations and sketches and other ‘stuff’ lying around my studio.

In 1985 my husband and I determined to make copies of the wonderful ceramics of ancient Cyprus. We were very fortunate to be allowed to study the Cypriot collection at the British Museum. For over two years we got up close and personal with vessels over four thousand years old! 1988 we moved to a small village in the north west tip of Cyprus, where we started Triskelion Pottery. I think we did a pretty darn good job of it. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos of our work.

A third string to my bow over the years has been portrait sculpture and drawing portraits. I went to the Central School of Art in the 1970s where such conventional endeavours were seriously frowned upon in the sculpture department. But despite the heavy disapproval I have returned to portraiture again and again and remain completely intrigued by every face I see.

My husband, Ara Nigogossian, now deceased, experimented with Early Bronze Age firing methods and from this emerged a unique technique that we dubbed his Smoke Pots. Apart from saying that i find them exquisit I will let them speak for themselves.
