2024 sees the exhibition Expressions in Blue, Monumental Porcelain by Felicity Aylieff come to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This landmark exhibition marks a high point in Aylieff's career, showcasing the creative and technical journey of an artist working between cultures, realising a unique ambition to create astonishing vessels on a monumental scale. This book reveals insight into the process and challenges of creating such ground-breaking work, showcasing extraordinary new pieces inspired by Kew's rich archives of botanical illustrations, from the `new Ming' vases to a collection of stylised Fencai enamelled vessels. The text includes a personal testimonial from Aylieff and an essay by art historian John-Paul Stonard in celebration of this impressive body of work. With a foreword by Adrian Sassoon.
