Yellow Origami Bowl by Ann Van Hoey

About the Item

Yellow Origami Vessel, 2015 (Ceramic, C. 11 in. h x 12.5 in. w x 12.5 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 Green Ceramic Vase by Turi Heisselberg Pedersen
By Turi Heisselberg Pedersen
Located in New York, NY
Organic Vase, 2015, (Ceramic, C. 12.1 in. h x 7.5 in. d, Object No.: 3389). Turi Heisselberg Pedersen has, all through her career, strived to develop the vessel as abstract form and as an independent sculptural object. As Turi notes “working in clay is to me connected with many underlying cultural bound references, but also strongly connected to nature. The very process of building in clay is a process from nature to culture. We have an inherent understanding of beauty and design evolved in thousands of years of visual impressions from our cultural history, but especially also from nature. In this context, I am aiming to create a visual and emotional reading of the objects, working with shape, rhythm, volume, movement, and texture”. In the interplay between culture and nature, Turi’s works are inspired by geological structures and crystal formations, but also by architecture, the edged rendering of a computer drawing or folded paper shapes. Most of her faceted shapes seem to have a seed of coincidence or unplanned development, reminding one of crystal formations growing in irregular clusters.? Heisselberg Pedersen’s sculptures are hand-modeled from stoneware and glazed with slip-glazes, which gives the works a stone-like, dry surface with a rich texture. Some of Turi’s designs...
