Hand woven pottery
It’s a collection of pieces made entirely by hand in limited and numbered edition. Inspired by the figure of the architect Guastavino, this collection of 3 pieces refers to the characteristic pattern of its vaults. The material chosen could not be other than ceramic and cream tonality is a nod to his most relevant works in NY. It’s a trio of multi-use vases or containers (available individually).
To make them, the stoneware strips are woven and create a mesh with which to shape the different pieces. Thus, the resulting form is not a mere applied texture, but is the result of the manufacturing process, visible both inside and outside the pieces.
