Contemporary Sculptural Vase in Unglazed Porcelain by Jenny Min

About the Item

This delicate, diminutive hand-crafted porcelain vessel, entitled 'Grotto Vase,' makes a subtly beautiful addition to any room in the home. The chalky finish calls to mind the raw, tactile essence of a Giacometti plaster sculpture, while the serene minimalism of the form evokes a Morandi still-life painting. Artist Information: Jenny Min is a ceramicist based in New York City. She utilizes a perspective of discovery and symphonic tension that mirrors her experiences. In 2009, Jenny graduated from New York University and studied at Steinhardt School of Art for ceramics. After graduation, Jenny moved to Florence, Italy to learn under the tutelage of master potter Romano Pampaloni. For the better part of a decade, she would develop a precision-based throwing technique that appreciates the pressure of perfection and the discovery in surprise — a philosophy that values the contextual balance of imposing upon and reacting to the medium. Jenny returned to New York City in 2016 and in that same year started her practice working out of Greenwich House Studio. She would go on to do residencies back in Italy at Capoldio in 2018 and at Rights of Passage, a Barnard College-sponsored residency in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Infused in Jenny Min’s work is an openness to discovery and a continual re-discovery of the effective ratio between creative chaos and control. Undergirding this whole approach is an innate assumption that “Everything is Good.” So with each vessel, sculpture, and plate, Jenny wrestles with subject, materials, and herself. This intimate introspection and raw celebration are portrayed in the texture of her work as each object is appreciated for its “is-ness” rather than its societal role.
