Aqua Series

The Aqua series was inspired by pondweeds in the Lake Balaton. There was a quiet afternoon at the lake, floating on the calm surface of the water, hearing the splashing of a tranquil little wave on a fishing boat, migrating birds above the reeds, rustling leaves of the willow trees. It is the water’s scent, calmness and subtil, embracing softness. You can’t catch it but the pondweeds floating in it take it’s vibration.

The ferny green vase and box were inspired by an other peaceful experience of mine. Sitting around in a ferny part of the woods, drawing the leaves and breathing in the muddy scent of the vapour.

All pieces were built up by slices of white clay, shaped with wooden tools, coloured with slip and carved with sharp tools. The blue and the turquoise ones were carved with relief technique. All of them were made by hand and one of a kind.
