Dimensions: W 24 cm x H 31.50 cm
Materials: Porcelain
Method:
Anna hand throws each piece in porcelain on the potter’s wheel, allowing her to focus on the gradual renewal and reinvention of her forms, cutting, reassembling and reshaping each piece, differing from the last. After firing, she meticulously applies glazes, both matt and glossy, softening or highlighting as they break over edges connecting form and surface harmoniously.
Description:
A futuristic form made from fine porcelain. Anna skilfully accentuates the shape with precise carves lines that delineate the segments, the movement of the piece appearing infinite. The egg shell finish of the work is enticing, creating a juxtaposition between detail and softness. The weight adds depth to the rounded body, adding contrast to the slender rim.
