A large, sculptural ceramic vase with an integrated wire element, this piece explores the tension between organic form and structured intervention. Built entirely by hand using the coil technique from red stoneware clay, the form develops gradually, each layer shaping the final silhouette in a slow, intuitive process.
The surface remains unglazed, emphasizing the raw, tactile quality of the material. Deep texture, subtle irregularities, and visible marks of the hand create a sense of movement across the surface.
The addition of wire introduces a contrasting material language — rigid, linear, and deliberate — interacting with the softness and unpredictability of clay. Rather than functioning as decoration, it becomes part of the structure, extending the form beyond its ceramic boundary.
This piece exists somewhere between vessel and sculpture. While it can hold dry foliage, its presence is not dependent on function. It is designed to stand on its own as an object — quiet, grounded, and materially expressive.
Each vase is one of a kind, shaped and finished entirely by hand in my Los Angeles studio. No molds are used, and no two pieces can be replicated.
