Ana Carolina Ceramics

I strive to create, through an intuitive understanding among forms, organics volumes and space, freely abstract ceramics vessels and sculptures. Fantasy and imagination are brought into the narrative, whereby the ceramics forms are to seem to be alive and to move in a world that only fantasy and imagination can reach. The main pottery techniques, wheel-throw, slabbuilt, pinching and coiling are used. I explore different clays highlighting natural textures and colors on the ceramics pieces.

Process: pottery techniques, intuition, controlling proportions and organic volumes with sensibility.

Intention: fantasy, imagination, movement.
