Squaring the Circle
Series of kurinuki ceramic sculptures grapples with the paradox of presence and absence. The hollow space - created by the forceful insertion of a round peg into a square block of clay - is the sculpture itself, a void imbued with meaning. The subsequent carving away of material is a quest to reveal the hollow aftermark, yet in doing so, the void’s containment dissolves, and the sculpture’s essence is lost.
This delicate balance between revelation and erasure transforms the act of making into a profound meditation:
Can we reveal a thing without destroying it? The organic material, painstakingly carved away, becomes both an unveiling and a dismantling. The process mirrors the fragility of existence, where the essence of something often relies on what remains unseen or protected.
Squaring the Circle, are works that ask the viewer to confront the fleeting nature of form and the impossibility of fully grasping what is transient. The clay’s raw tactility contrasts with the ethereal nature of the hollow, grounding the work in the physical while pointing to the intangible. Each piece captures the tension between creation and loss, inviting reflection on the fragility of what we hold and the cost of what we uncover.
-All are unique and handmade in Denmark burnt to stoneware. Each attempt are numbered and signed
Size varies - approximately 12×12×12 - HxWxD in centimeters.
EP&W - Exploring Perception and Worth
These sculptures are part of an ongoing research project into the valuation of art, this item is priced within the context of its artistic and conceptual significance. This exploration delves into how art is perceived, valued, and contextualized within cultural and economic systems.
By challenging traditional notions of pricing, the project invites viewers to question the interplay between art's materiality, intent, and market value.
The aim is to provoke thought about the evolving dynamics of worth—whether intrinsic, emotional, or monetary—encouraging a broader dialogue about how art is both a commodity and an enduring vessel for human expression.
