Jester Jonathon has a quiet kind of mischief about him, not loud or exaggerated, just sitting there with that knowing look like he’s in on something you’re not. There’s a softness in the face that pulls you in, but the jester form keeps it slightly off balance, like he could tip into humour at any moment.
The poured glazes really take over in this piece. They’ve run and layered in their own way, creating those rich, shifting colours across the face and body. No control, just letting the kiln do its thing, which gives him that depth and movement you can’t plan.
He’s completely one of a kind. No repeats, no recreating. Just Jester Jonathon as he turned out, somewhere between calm and playful.
