Christina Muff, Hand-Modelled Sculptural Vase of Stoneware Clay

About the Item

Christina Muff, Danish contemporary ceramicist (b. 1971). Hand-modelled sculptural vase of stoneware clay. The vessel is glazed with warm white glaze mixed with minerals from Danish beaches and ash glaze runs in blue and green. Part of the 'Salt' series. One of a kind. Measures: 40.5 x 39 cm. In excellent condition. Signed by the artist. Technique- Christina Muff’s forms are modelled by hand using ancient techniques; hand-modelling, coil- and mould-building. Starting with smooth slabs of clay she slowly shapes the intricate sculptures by hand, a time-consuming task as the forms require significant drying time in the process as the sculptures are most often large and detailed. When glazing Christina Muff employs various combinations of glazing techniques including brushing, dipping, pouring and many forms are fired numerous times to achieve the desired surface and color. The objective is to achieve texture and surface that resembles man-made items that nature has reclaimed. Bio- Christina Muff, contemporary ceramicist (b. 1971) studied design in Copenhagen at Margretheskolen in the 1990s and later at TEKO centre in Herning, Denmark. She has worked in various media including painting, textiles, graphics and silver. Having had commercial successes in the fields of graphic art and jewellery, Christina now recognizes clay as her primary medium. Always self-employed Christina has lived in the US, Saudi Arabia and Europe, today residing in her native country of Denmark where her ceramic studio is located in the outskirts of Copenhagen. Series; Seed - The beginnings. Bursting with life. Series; Soil - Ancient. Unglazed or clear glazed to reveal the raw clay. Series; Salt - Manmade items that appear to be reclaimed by the sea.
