Grid - recontextualising ceramics
experimental porcelain structure for architectural use
Ceramic objects are commonly made to address basic functionalities and be visually appealing. In this project the focus is on the senses that are excluded in the process of perception, like the touch, sound, expectations, balance, movement, weight... the very feeling of the material. Therefore you are supposed to touch these objects.
I play with the expectations we have towards ceramics and turn them into the confusion we feel when the expectation is not fulfilled, capturing the moment of unknown in a known permanent material and lift the experience into the space. It becomes a platform for surprise, re-evaluation and reconsideration.
With my experimental pieces I hope bring the material closer to the human body, awake curiosity and trigger the critical thinking towards our surrounding.
This experimental grid structure has a lot of potential and I continued to develop it in a larger size, to become a large flexible installation in space as a room divider.
