Description:

This precious Yunomi cup by artist Annette Lindenberg is made from black stoneware with a "Yakisugi" glaze. This is inspired by the charring of wood combined with the carved texture of volcanic pebble in a black clay. Lindenberg chose to make the work lightweight as a way to reflect on the weight of volcanic stone and charred wood. 

She skilfully uses her intuition to layer each individual form, alternating between subconscious and conscious design and material decisions. The rock like forms evolved through experimentation with mixing materials and utilising her carving capabilities. This piece is exquisitely tactile, with rough surfaces, with a glazed interior and exterior. It holds very interesting organic curves across the body, emphasising Lindenberg’s unique making processes.
