Embrace is a handbuilt ceramic sculpture exploring the relationship between connection and individual autonomy. Two pear-like forms lean into and support one another, creating a structure in which balance depends on their physical relationship.
Copper rods extend from the ceramic forms in independent, free-moving lines, introducing a contrasting sense of lightness and movement. Their linear gestures continue the sculpture beyond the mass of the ceramic body and create a tension between stability and freedom.
The sculpture was wood-fired in an anagama-type kiln at 1300°C. Flame, ash and variations in the firing atmosphere have produced different colours and textures across the surfaces, making the firing process an integral part of the work.
Handbuilt stoneware and copper. Wood-fired at 1300°C. The sculpture consists of the ceramic forms and a separate base measuring 19 × 12 × 2 cm. Unique piece.
