About the Item
A striking large freeform sculpture titled the ‘Spore,’ meticulously handcrafted in stoneware by noted artist Lewis Trimble using the labor-intensive nerikomi technique. This intricate process involves layering multiple colors of clay, slicing and assembling them into sheets to reveal complex patterns, which are then skillfully hand-built into the final organic form. The striped patterns are embedded within the clay body itself, not applied on the surface, revealing the depth and precision of the nerikomi technique.
Nerikomi, a traditional Japanese ceramic technique, dates back centuries and involves the careful blending and layering of differently colored clays to create intricate, often abstract patterns within the clay body itself. Unlike surface decoration, these patterns are revealed throughout the thickness of the piece, showcasing the artisan’s mastery of both design and material. This method has been embraced and evolved by contemporary ceramicists worldwide for its ability to merge craftsmanship with modern artistic expression.
The influence of Japanese craft traditions on 20th-century modernism is profound. The Japanese emphasis on natural materials, subtle textures, and refined simplicity resonated deeply with modernist ideals, inspiring artists and designers to rethink form and function. Nerikomi, with its fusion of pattern and structure, exemplifies this intersection of craft and modern art.
This sculpture embodies the principles of organic modernism, a design philosophy that emphasizes natural forms, flowing lines, and an intrinsic connection between object and environment. Organic modernism emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the industrial rigidity of earlier modernism, seeking instead to harmonize human-made objects with the natural world through softer, more fluid shapes.
Lewis Trimble’s ‘Spore’ reflects this philosophy through its irregular, freeform silhouette and tactile surface, evoking natural growths and geological formations. The hand-dyed, stone-like finish enhances its earthy presence, making it a perfect synthesis of ancient craft techniques and modernist design ideals.
Sealed with a commercial-grade archival, non-yellowing polyurethane, the sculpture is protected for lasting display while retaining its authentic, rustic character.
