This soft minimalist ceramic sculpture, crafted from stoneware in a rust-brown hue, features gently flowing lines that enhance its serene presence. The piece is graced with a subtle touch of gold on its foot, following the Japanese Kintsugi tradition, symbolizing beauty in imperfection.
This Modder represents memories. Making memories and cherishing them.
From the artist: I made this piece summer 2023 during our stay in France, our last holiday together with our 11 year old dog Ober because of cancer. He was diagnosed just before we left, so we made many
more swimming, cuddeling and ball play memories to be cherished forever. I brought red clay because it reminded me of my childhood holidays in France playing with the yellow/orange clay soil.
Handmade: Françoise Jeffrey’s objects are all handmade using the coil-building technique, an ancient craft that is as slow as it is meaningful for the artist. It gives space to practice intuition in both work and daily life. Through this intuitive process, the artist shapes perfectly imperfect pieces. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi and Françoise Jeffrey’s mother who showed her how to design a life that retains its beauty until the very end.
Timeless Designs: For Françoise Jeffrey, beauty in design is minimalistic, pure, and bold in a subtle way, making it timeless. So the studio’s pieces are earthy in color, organically shaped, preferably a bit bigger, and unglazed. Not only because glaze is often toxic, but because the artist loves the purity of the shape and texture of raw clay. Additionally, it allows for single-firing, which is more environmentally friendly.
