Generation 12 Vase by Eguzkiñe Egaña

About the Item

Generation 12 vase by Eguzkiñe Egaña Unique Piece Dimensions: D 20.5 x W 20.5 x H 24 cm. Materials: black stoneware and slip In this series of pieces, called 13 generations, Eguzkiñe connects with an imaginary world from his previous thirteen generations, where he speculates on those past lives, imagining them as lives dedicated to the artisanal creation of everyday objects. With the clear intention of recovering our roots and especially the value of craftsmanship, the artist enters it understanding it as a slow and thoughtful process, in which a job well done and conscientiously prevails. Unique piece. Eguzkiñe Egaña Corta studied advertising and for more than 20 years has worked as a graphic designer. About 12 years ago, surrounded by a completely digital world, she felt the need to create with her hands and it is from there that she took up her drawings and illustrations and began to create with ceramics. She has completed a Master’s degree at the University of the Basque Country: “Ceramics; art and function” and combi - nes her work as a designer and illustra - tor with contemporary artistic creation. She also teaches ceramics classes at the municipal school of Zarautz, a city in the Basque Country where she lives. She feels the need to explore the re - lationship between identity and self-knowledge. Work with the concepts; interior, exterior, return, connect, ancestral and artisanal, establishing a relationship between us and our environment, as well as between us and our ancestors, either emotionally, empathetically or through objects that somehow transport us to a hypothetical place in the past, both for its aesthetics and for the ways in which they have been created. Human beings are containers of desires, fears, expectations. Sometimes it is ne - cessary to empty ourselves of everything that clutters the mind. On many occa - sions the artist works with turned contai - ners reflecting this analogy. The rope is an element that she is interested in using in these sculptures, due to its conceptual charge. Unite, tie, join, analogies that the artist compares with the force of love that transcends life and death and that unites the past, the present and the future.
