About the Item

Red Vessel, 2014 (Glazed ceramic, C. 7 in. h x 13 in. w x 13 in. d, Object No.: 3323) Ann Van Hoey is an award-winning ceramic artist and her work is in the collections of several international museums. Ann Van Hoey was born in Mechelen, Belgium in 1956. After graduating with the Master in Applied Economic Sciences at the University of Antwerp, she trained as a potter at the Institute for Arts and Craft in her hometown, Mechelen. There she started her own workshop in 2006 and since then her work has been rewarded with many international prizes and is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), New York; Royal Museum of Art and History (KMKG), Brussels; Musée Ariana, Geneva; and the Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche, Faenza, among others. Ann Van Hoey takes basic spatial forms as her starting point. Enchanted by the geometrical design of Japanese zen gardens of stones and inspired by the Japanese art of origami, she developed the technique of folding thin sheets of clay. In fact, she cuts to recompose. The geometric placing of the incisions dictates the guiding outlines of the resulting reshape of the perfect simplicity of the hemisphere, thus suggesting a growing tension between the restructured object and the perception of spatial capacity, steeped in the interplay between its paper-thin delicacy and the crude aesthetics of the raw earth. And while the cuts are straight, they are warped, bending, and curving, to the convexity of the bowl. The result is a deliberately minimalistic demonstration of purity, form, sobriety, efficiency, and clarity of line, a paragon of geometric and mathematical relentlessness, from which the power of the basic material, clay, radiates. Building upon the shapely language that she uses while crafting her bowls, Ann now also creates closed volumes. These come in a totally different raw material, very much contrasting with the light and fragile nature of her ceramics.

Unique Ceramic Bowl by Olivia Walker
By Olivia Walker
Located in New York, NY
Nest II, 2022 (Porcelain, C. 4.3 in. H x 7 in. W x 7 in. D., Object No.: 3925) Olivia Walker works in porcelain to create pieces that explore the symbiotic relationship between growth and decay, as well as the relationship between nature and man-made. All of her works start by being thrown on the wheel, before being built upon with thousands of individually-applied fragments of porcelain. Many of her vessels are thrown and altered – they are cut away and reassembled in the leather-hard stage which allows her to deconstruct the form of the bowl and then build up a surface on this new form. Olivia starts from a set point on a bowl and lets these organic accretions spread out and grow – ‘eating through," or growing over the form beneath. They make reference to organisms such as coral and fungus, but remain abstract. Olivia Walker was born in 1985 and lives and works in London. Her work was featured in numerous publications including Emerging Potters Magazine, Clay Craft...
