Inspired by the stone sculpture work of Isamu Noguchi and Barbara Hepworth, this piece was shaped into a form that resembles a carved stone fountain that would sit in a peaceful garden. The modified 'nerikomi' (kneading in Japanese) technique was used to combine the white and the dark clay, then the pinch pot technique and chiseling were used to achieve its final form. One small opening for a single flower or a branch. Rich dark chocolate glaze interior and drizzles out to the exterior. Fired at cone 10.

Wescover creator since 2020
Specializes in creating sculptural ceramic objects using various hand-building techniques.

I started making ceramics in 2012 after more than 15 years of working in a NY brand, visual and design consultation studio. My hand-built ceramic work focuses on two spectrums - one, the Japanese wabisabi inspired pieces which exudes the quality of transience, and the other, a minimal approach that is an interpretation of nature and study of shapes and forms.
My commissioned work includes a collection for Maman NYC, Chillhouse NYC, 97 Crosby NYC, Paloma Wool Madrid, White is Good Beijing, Virgil Normal LA, Departamento LA, Seldom Seen SF, Voyager SF & LA, Tekuno Tea Shop SF, as well custom pieces for private collectors. I have held a month-long pop-up shop at Voyager SF in 2019 where I showcased ceramics and fashion as well as a pop-up event of ceramic works at Seldom Seen SF in 2018. In addition I have wholesaled for Steven Alan US between 2014-2016 and many of my ceramic works were featured in publications such as W Magazine Culture, Bloomberg Businessweek, Steven Alan The Designer Edit, Paloma Wool, Coastal Living and more. I am also a fashion designer specializing in innovative draping. In 2018 I published the book 'Vase and Flower’ which showcases my vases in combination with ikebana flower artists from around the globe.
