Kura

I’m creating every piece myself in my studio with a lot of care and love. This one was shaped using the coiling technique and using the raku technique, a traditional Japanese pottery process that involves removing the piece from the kiln while still glowing hot and allowing it to cool in the open air. This method creates striking, unpredictable patterns, colors and textures, giving the sculpture its unique and organic aesthetic.

Crafted from white stoneware and finished with brilliant glazes especially made for Raku.

I have a keen interest in working on both sculptural and functional pieces. Vases, by their nature, are objects that can be useful without being strictly necessary; they invite creativity, and I enjoy transforming them into utilitarian sculptures. Versatils works in between design, craft and art. With these homes for plants, I aim to create works that will act as envelopes, allowing plants to bring the poetry of the seasons from the outside world to the inside. These pieces are carefully crafted around a void, with my hands and tools serving as extensions of this creative process. Through these artworks, I seek to convey a sense of care. Furthermore, the daily attention required by plants helps ground us in the tangible world, adding another layer of connection to our surroundings.
