Rachel Kneebone’s Medallion is a porcelain work that centres upon a smooth scrying orb framed by cascading ribbon-like folds and diminutive curls suggestive of roses. Intricately adorned, Kneebone’s medallions highlight the sculptor’s remarkable command of the fragile yet enduring medium for which she is known.

Created to fit into the palm of the hand, Medallion nods to the historical use of medallions as tokens of friendship, as well as the role of portrait miniatures in Renaissance and Baroque Europe: intimate gifts to be remembered by.

The roughness of the medallions’ anterior faces, which have the texture of hair or fur, punctuates the smoothness of the glaze, making evident both tactile states.

Every Medallion in the series is unique, and each serves as both a gesture of devotion and a keepsake to cherish.
