The opening of the mold is where the real magic happens… a delicate and satisfying moment of reveal, when I finally see if the piece holds what I imagined #artisanprocess #textiledesign #ceramics

Gracias @thesensorymag por incluir mi proceso de trabajo en esta edición aniversario, dedicada al arte de la composición: tierra, procesos y tiempo ✨ Un espacio que entiende la creación como un diálogo atento entre materia, cuerpo y constancia. Feliz aniversario!! 📷 @malibe.studio

Once the piece is born, there’s no need to touch it too much, only what’s necessary to smooth the edges... the design has already been shaped in the leather mold 🤍

This mold began as an exploration of growth through repetition ✨ I imagined modular pieces that could be added or removed vertically, allowing the form to expand or contract in height and diameter. From this idea, I developed geometric structures with pinched volumes, inspired by the kaleidoscopic world of triangles 📐 Now let’s see what will happen once porcelain enters the mold 🫣

@ditacossio fue pionera al fusionar cerámica y costura, y se ganó un lugar destacado en la alta artesanía contemporánea. Su sello único la ha convertido en miembro de la International Academy of Ceramics y en una presencia constante en destacadas ferias y galerías internacionales. “Existe una fineza en los relieves que es muy distinguida y que no la da el humano (…) Esto es gravedad, son las leyes de la naturaleza, son las arrugas del cuero. Yo soy como una moderadora: hago el molde, pongo la porcelana, aplico tensiones, pero lo que pasa dentro son las leyes físicas”, explica. La alquimia del detalle.

Until now, my exploration has focused on forms and textures. Color has always come from the way shadows paint the surface as they move across it. But recently I’ve stepped a little further. I’ve been playing with luster to deepen certain areas, and I’m really enjoying how it expands the pieces without losing subtlety ✨

Bernardita Cossio | “Para mí, la camisa blanca es un lienzo en movimiento: una estructura abierta a la transformación, donde lo femenino puede reinventarse y expandirse más allá de lo clásico.” Artista y ceramista chilena, fusiona arte, ciencia y oficio textil en su práctica. Reconocida internacionalmente por su innovación en cerámica, llevó esa mirada experimental a la colaboración con Pas Denom, donde la camisa blanca se transforma en estructura, geometría y símbolo de nuevas formas de habitar el cuerpo.

Like the body, porcelain is vulnerable and alive to the touch. The process is corporeal, it involves pressure, breath, resistance. Sewing, pouring, and binding are physical gestures that leave their trace.
