Life if unpredictable like ceramics.
Clay - air, glaze, kiln, fellow studiomates, your own hands - anything and everything affects it. There are many exciting (sometimes upsetting) adventures that a pot goes through before it becomes a pot on its own. Just like in life things happen and you can't predict them.
And that is where I find inspiration for my pottery. I let it grow and be built on its own, with its own flow.
Lockdown clay
Spring 2020 was a special time for the world. I explored new clay and snuck over to studio on very early mornings to glaze the items with glaze with no colour.
White space series
This series is an exploration of the white space of a vessel. How big, how small, how dense, how bright, how empty can a vessel be. The series has began in summer 2019 and was inspired by Sicilian traditional pottery, where i had travelled earlier that year. With this project I decided to go back to step one. Step away from the glaze, but to explore the space that a vesseltakes or gives.
Blue terracota series
Terracota clay is the most traditional clay. It represents the Earth, the culture, the history. Here I experiment with the blue and green glazes. In combination these colours are eveything that is Earth: water, sky, mountains.
