Martina Lantin: Ceramics
September 20 – October 27
Martina Lantin
Ceramics
Committed to the joys of working in earthenware, which she describes as chocolate porcelain, Martina creates functional ceramics through thrown and altered forms.
Lantin’s asymmetrical forms are made possible with her unique method of throwing and altering her pots, as she throws her bowls upside down, capitalizing on the physics of working on the wheel.
“I seek to evoke nostalgia of the future by making pots that are reverberations of the past. I draw inspiration from early English porcelain and cream ware. I provoke a tension between the elegant handling of the material and the rugged connotations of the clay body.”
