The premise
Incorporating and blending insights from nature's inherent forces — the ones that generate monumental structures and provide mineral richness.
Gestural fading lines release the rigidity of geometric shapes. The work draws on the sculptural influences of the Andes to speculate on new forms of structural representation.
The ceramic colours are my own: the glazes are formulated from minerals, so the piece is coloured by the same material it takes its form from.
