Small White Rituals Vase by Lisa Geue

About the Item

Small white rituals vase by Lisa Geue Dimensions: D 17 x W 16 x H 16 cm Materials: Terracotta, Kaolin wash, Shino glazes. Non-functional. By researching ancient and indigenous rites, practices, and rituals, Geue observes the meaning of the vessel and reinterprets resurfacing shapes and forms. As in all of her works, Geue creates her own glazes using minerals, shells, soda, and Shino glazes. The selected collection of works seek to honor the status of the vessel, its artisanal tradition, cultural use, symbolic value, and outlasting relevance as a utilitarian object. Rituals are an ongoing project. Every piece is unique as Lisa Geue uses the coiling technique. She creates her own glazes using minerals, carbides, carbonates, sand, soda, wood ash, and found shells. Colors may vary on photos. *imperfect —— pieces might appear to have/have „flaws“, e.g. small cracks which do not affect appearance nor function. Lisa Geue works primarily in ceramic, creating ancient shape-inspired vessels and organic-looking sculptures with a focus on form and experimental glazing. With a background in photography and ? lm, composition plays a role in both, the visual language and the photographic archive-like work. Born 1988 in East Germany, she went to Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig from 2013 - 2019 to study Photography. Then moving to Berlin, she worked for Galleries like Julia Stoschek Collection. In 2019 she traveled to Naarm (Melbourne) and Jan Juc, Australia and lived at the ocean. Deepening her connection with nature, natural processes like mineralization, decomposition of coastal rocks through saltwater or cycles like high and low tide, have become inspiration for her clay practice. Geue has always appreciated and felt drawn to indigenous practices and ancient techniques which have been a signi?cant in?uence in terms of resourcing mindfully and appreciating the craft she is doing.
