Thankful for this collab with @open.standard ! 25 vases, each unique. A study of form and technique. I’m always amazed with how the slightest adjustments to the curve of a vessel can significantly change how it looks. Porcelain. Matte white glaze. (Taking suggestions for what we should call these. The kids all voted “Marshmallow Series”.)
A cluster. A patch. A gregarious grouping. These pieces stand alone but somehow feel better together through contrast of proportion and scale. Someday, I will make a forest of these.
Earlier this month, I did a thing where I exhibited and sold my ceramics to friends and family. It honestly felt strange to put these objects so personal to me out into the world.
Maybe for some, a bowl is just a bowl, but for me, it’s a lot more - it’s a journey. It’s an exploration of color and function and form. It’s pushing ability while simultaneously showing restraint. It’s an emotional outlet. It’s also a bowl. 😅
Thanks to everyone who showed up to celebrate this journey with me. To those who went home with one or two or more of the 100 pieces I brought, I hope you find some pleasure in using or gifting your piece(s) and remember a little bit of its journey.
