Ceramic Table Steel

For the ceramic-tables different liquid glazes pool and mix together under the influence of rotation and blown air to leave traces of fluid movement and smoke-like patterns which are solidified in the heat of the kiln. The finished surfaces show traces of gravitiy, colours flow and collide. In this project the theme is that a fluid material becomes rigid, the movement of liquids are frozen in time. In this sense the surface functions as still frame in a therefore moving strain of actions. It can be understood as an allegory of a personal archive of memories individually preserved through the remembrance of tiny variations and imperfections, bubbles and cracks in the surface. During the process of glazing the liquid suspenses float and mix together, they form little branches, bubbles, swirls, channels and islands. The patterns resemble satellite pictures of our earth, showing meandering rivers and snow covered mountains tops. Each pattern is an unique landscape, naturally grown out of human control. The ceramic-tables are available in three different sizes with frames in copper or steel. As each tabletop is unique please ask for available designs.
