THIS ROOM INSTALLATION OF THIN SHEETS OF PORCELAIN HUNG FROM THE CEILING, ARE TRANSLUCENT AND OPEN IN SOME PLACES, WHILE OTHER PARTS SEEM DENSE AND CREATE A MORE CONDENSED PLAY OF SHADOWS AND A CLEARER DEFINITION OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SPACE. AS WE MOVE AROUND, THE WORK WILL UNFOLD SPATIALLY AND VISUALLY STEP BY STEP. IT DOES NOT REVEAL ITSELF AT ONE GAZE; WE EXPERIENCE IT PIECE BY PIECE AS WE MOVE FORWARD, AND AS WE MOVE THE WORK CHANGES RADICALLY AND COMPLEMENTARILY AT THE SAME TIME FROM WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED. CONSEQUENTLY, YOU CAN ONLY EXPERIENCE THE ENTIRE WORK BY MOVING THROUGH IT AND LETTING IT FORM AGAIN IN YOUR MIND LITTLE BY LITTLE.

ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THIN RED THREADS, SYSTEMATICALLY ORGANIZED AND SUSPENDED, CONSTITUTE A STRUCTURAL INSTALLATION - THE THIN RED LINE, WHICH EXPLORES SPACE AND BORDERS. THE ARTWORK CHANGES ITS CHARACTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH LIGHT AND ANGLES, AND THE OTHERWISE TIGHTLY LACED AND STABLE THREADS APPEAR TO QUIVER DYNAMICALLY IN THE CHANGING LIGHT.

I WORK CREATIVELY WITH THE FIRING AS I USE THE PROCESS AS PART OF THE ACTUAL SHAPING OF THE CLAY. DURING THE FIRING, WHEN THE PORCELAIN REACHES VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES (APP. 1300 DEGREES), IT BECOMES SOFT AND TENDS TO GO OUT OF SHAPE OR COLLAPSE. TRADITIONALLY, THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING CERAMISTS HAVE ANXIOUSLY TRIED TO AVOID SINCE THEY WISHED THEIR CERAMICS TO KEEP THE SHAPE IT HAD BEFORE FIRING. HOWEVER, WHEN SCULPTING THE CLAY, I DELIBERATELY WORK WITH THE CHANGES THAT HAPPEN IN THE MATERIAL DURING FIRING. BY DOING SO, I GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THE MOVEMENTS OF SHAPES AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND IN THIS WAY I AIM AT A DYNAMIC EXPRESSION IN MY WORKS.

FUNCTION
&CRAFT

A VERY FINE AND ELEGANT TEA SET, WHICH DISTRACTS ATTENTION AWAY FROM EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE TABLE. THE PORCELAIN HAS A BEAUTIFUL AND PURE WHITE COLOUR, WHICH COMPLEMENTS THE DESIGN PERFECTLY. THE SET EXUDES DISTINCTIVENESS AND IT IS EXCEPTIONAL IN MANY WAYS. THE TEA SET IS HAND THROWN AND WORKS BOTH WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EXPRESSION, WHICH SUGGESTS THAT EACH CUP IS DANCING AND IT COMES ACROSS QUITE UNIQUE.

THE ARTIST

AS A CERAMIC ARTIST I WORK PRIMARILY WITH STRUCTURAL EXPLORATION THROUGH OBJECTS AND SPATIAL INSTALLATIONS.
MY MAIN MEDIUM IS PORCELAIN. AS A CERAMIC ARTIST I’M INTERESTED IN THE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF PORCELAIN; PARTICULARLY IN ITS STRENGTH AND FRAGILITY. TO EMPHASISE THESE PROPERTIES I FIRE THE PORCELAIN CLAY AT VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES THUS ACHIEVING A VERY TACTILE AND SUBTLE MATERIALITY THAT RESULTS IN A SORT OF TRANSPARENCY.
