This deeply comforting and highly tactile 5-piece installation acts as an exquisite storybook of organic textures. The artwork is broken down into three horizontal and two vertical blocks, creating an engaging puzzle-like arrangement. Each individual block mimics an aerial view of natural landscapes or woven tribal textiles, sectioned off into different patches. Waves of combed sage-green clay look like rushing water or wild grass, contrasting against broad sections of smooth, warm terracotta.
The most captivating elements are the dense grids of cream and beige beads that spiral out like seed pods, complete with tiny attached clay sculptures that resemble ancient symbols. It serves as an exceptional, artisan-crafted centerpiece for a modern bohemian dining room, an upscale living space, or a neutral entryway that values texture, warmth, and quiet luxury.
Medium: Mixed media installation consisting of five large, hand-sculptured stoneware ceramic panels and grooved terracotta tiles featuring raised clay applique accents
Technique: High-relief modular patch sculpting; each block is individually hand-carved, combed, and pressed with highly intricate textures—ranging from miniature stoneware beads to deep wavy grooves. Small separately-sculptured stoneware buttons and abstract metal/clay tabs are attached to the surfaces to maximize physical depth.
Finish: A rustic, organic matte mineral finish using a grounding palette of rich terracotta clay, deep sand browns, textured cream slip, and soft sage-grey washes
Form: An asymmetric, cross-like modular composition made of five heavy, rectangular ceramic panels with softly rounded corners, floating flush on a gallery wall
