It’s a minimalist series of dishes where the focus is on tactile sensations. The reoccurring maternus has been placed in the natural grip. The dishes combine both functionally and visually. Pattern is a link that allows objects to live together in different combinations. The diagram refers to «flow», a state of complete diving in the process. Pattern in this series is not a static drawing, but an expression of movement.
First I formed a shape out of a coma, and then I started making a patch out of a wand. I also found machinery to cover an ankle. You have to wait till the clay is dry, and only then do I start working with color. In the resulting striations, I neatly put an angab, and then with a scalpel, I scrape the remaining clay paint on the product. So the color stays only in the striations. She also covered the frosting, not completely, but only from the inside to preserve the texture of ceramics.
After finishing the first series, I decided to let my imagination and my hands go. I didn’t make any sketches to «be in the stream.» Here I tried to use a variety of techniques without thinking about the end result.
In this series, I used a lot of plastering techniques, including trying to use a turning table as a potter’s circle. I also used a variety of tools: pottery glasses, loops, and even a cocktail tube. In this series, I decided to use only the black angoba, but here I also tried to use techniques that I never used.
