The Rose Gardens
The “Roseti” collection features traces of grasses and twigs – memories of meadows and bushes left behind in the green glaze.
My work often incorporates element from nature, a traditional theme in many vases around the world. But I interpret nature as A reality that has always been shunned by “modernity”.
Modern design has its roots in machine-inspired geometric forms. Throughout its self-referential development, it has ignored the world around, a vast world made of leaves, twigs, flowers and grass- a world where modernity is in fact absent.
These traces of vegetation are an attempt to reach out from the closed world of design to a greater reality.
