Vase - Tes 02

Stoneware vase . slip of Limoges porcelain

Asterisque is the space in which the artist Estefanía dreams of invented phrases . images of other worlds . unreal colors . and textures yet to be discovered that she slowly transforms into ceramic pieces that recreate her imagination. 

As the * asterisk indicates that a form . word . or phrase is hypothetical . impossible . incorrect . or nonexistent . Estefanía finds authentic beauty in those characteristics of words . images . forms . people . or herself.

The handbuilt pieces look for organic geometry in forms and mixtures of textures and colors . being the result of a personal journey that started on the Spanish shores of the mediterranean sea and took her to different universes of earth . words . landscapes . and images. It has led her to settle in Cabo de Gata in Almería . an unusual place where she has found peace surrounded by fossil dunes lashed by the Mediterranean wind.

Estefanía makes each piece entirely by hand . without molds or the use of a potters' wheel . usually applying different textures and then experimental glazes.
