Squaring the Circle
The sculpture is the hole.
A round peg forced into a square block of clay leaves a void. The subsequent carving — the kurinuki process of hollowing from within — tries to reveal that void. But here is the paradox: the more material you remove, the less the hollow is contained. Reveal it completely and you destroy what made it a sculpture.
What remains is the attempt. Each piece numbered, each one a different negotiation between presence and absence, between making and undoing. Hand-carved stoneware, approximately 12×12×12 cm. Unique.
Part of EP&W — Exploring Perception and Worth. This sculpture is priced at what a handmade stoneware sculpture costs. Make of that what you will.
Handmade in Denmark. Fired to stoneware. Signed and numbered by the artist. Size varies approximately 12×12×12 cm HxWxD.
