Facet.2018. Slip-cast porcelain.
With its naked surface, this series highlights the contrast of supple shapes and facets of the forms. These forms are meant to be touched and used daily, blending into daily life while elevating daily sensory experience. All models were carved by hand as opposed to using a wheel or other modeling technology. Highlighted in the forms’ oval shapes, asymmetry and familiar-feeling handles, the pieces and a deeper resonance with users as their hands meet the maker’s hands in the contours of the forms.
