STONEWARE CLAY AND GLAZE
22 × 10 × 9 cm
I create abstract ceramic sculptures and functional objects, with an unpretentious mindset, I embrace and highlight the imperfections inherent in the form and glaze. Through the process of experimentation and curiosity, I delve into glaze development, surface treatment and form exploration, combining these elements posses the pieces to take on their own unique, unusual beauty, biomorphic like . My work depicts a dream like elaboration on the organic and decayed environment, presenting an abstract realm that reflects upon personal identity. It’s a meeting place intwining energy and experience.
