Collection: Porcelain
I use porcelain for my leaf sculptures because it enhances the qualities I aim to express in my smaller work. Starting with wax allows me to shape delicate, intricate forms with precision. When cast in porcelain, the leaves transform, becoming refined, minimal, and clean. The porcelain’s translucency, hardness, and fine texture elevate the sculptures, giving them a sense of elegance and permanence.
Porcelain’s unique properties bring a distinct character to my pieces. It’s a hard but delicate material, semi-gloss and green, created by firing special clay at high temperatures. This transformation mirrors the evolution of my sculptures: from malleable wax to a more polished, enduring state. As a group, my porcelain sculptures no longer feel like individual leaves but instead come together as elements of a larger forest, unified and harmonious.
