If the earth wasn't round
These authorial ceramic pieces, in traditional Portuguese faience and raw glaze, are part of an ongoing series untitled If the earth wasn't round, which explore and showcase the beauty of the relation between the colours of the evolving environment and landscapes where I live. It is the result of a working process and technique, developed to attain the colours and the movements of the skies and grounds, throughout the behaviour of the Portuguese faience, giving an opportunity to the chance, the hazard and the accidents to work in favour of the final resultant object: an Abstract Landscape ceramic. Which, I hope, each piece exhibits something singular and unique.
Lavoura, 2019
Lavoura, meaning tillage in Portuguese, is the preparation of land for growing crops.
For the experience with agricultural life and working in the field, this serie of ceramics represents the soil graded in the first phase of sowing.
Its unique characteristics and shapes, with different textures and colors, which go from a pink mate to a shining brown, handmade in Portuguese Faience with black beer glaze, are what makes the eleven pieces that compose this serie unique.
