Strands (Signs of Life III)
Vapaakaupunki Galleria, Helsinki, Finland 2025.
The Signs of Life series of works is cyclical, each is a reworking of an idea within the same elements. The materials take the form of the space - they fill it, measure it, occupy an expanse in rhythm and line. The ceramic pieces are recomposed for a third time in a practice of space-making. Each form is inspired by the necessity of buoyancy or weight within the sea - for survival, navigation, and communication. The space formed is meant to hold and encapsulate the bell like a vessel. Like a shell, it becomes a world within a world. A bubble, an oasis, a refuge within the public sphere.
