reinterpreting conventional
materials in an intriguingly
unconventional way; danish ceramic artist
christina
schou christensen challenges the use of ceramic glaze and
earthenware. the collection is exhibited at
galerie
sofie lachaert
in tielrode, belgium, where the unusually constructed pieces are on
display. determining the form's properties and possibilities, the artist
swaps the role of the material's traditional purpose - the glazing,
which usually acts as a mere covering layer in order to protect
earthenware, becomes a quirky feature. the viscosity of the glaze, the
porosity of the ceramic, the temperature of the kiln and the
ever-present gravity lead to mesmerizing creations and unpredictable
beauty.
