Clones & Ashets
Clone Series
Cloning refers to the creation of one or more genetically similar individuals of living organisms. This can produce individual cells, tissues or entire organisms. All genetically identical offspring of a cell or a living being are called clones. They can be produced artificially as well as naturally through asexual reproduction. The Clone Series figuratively has the same genes, but the objects differ in external details such as reliefs or ornaments, making them an ever-growing family of products.
Tasty Ashets
The decoration of utilitarian ceramics, especially tableware, has a long and visually impressive tradition through porcelain painting and similar techniques. The Tasty Ashets tableware series takes up this tradition again in an unusual and at the same time visually very strong form. The unique hand-painted decoration gives the impression that the depicted characters are sitting at the table with us.
In the production of ceramic objects, the Three-dimensionality is usually in the foreground. The expression is realised through forms. Colours and patterns serve mainly decorative purposes and are used in a delicate and subtle way.
“Clones & Ashets” breaks these patterns by placing the form of the object in the background and uses the ceramic object as a canvas for strong and bold two-dimensional graphics. It breaks the language of classical ceramic painting and allows the user a different experience with the material and creates a new kind of three-dimensionality.
