Ahead of the 2026 Easter art walk
Among other things, I’ve created and fired in two different wood-fired kilns. The result is a new collection of ceramics with clear inspiration from older Korean and Japanese ceramics. The surfaces are deliberately worked to trace random patterns, reinforced by the molten ash that moves through the kiln with the heat.
In the gallery you’ll find large urns with expressive surfaces and powerful handles. They’re glazed on the inside with shino glaze in orange and white tones. The clay body ranges from light beige to toasted, and in places towards dark brown, almost black.
The ceramics carry traces of an older visual language where imperfection is part of the expression, both controlled and playful. The forms are classic but with a powerful touch. In some places the firing reinforces the form, in others it works against it, creating a shift between what was intended and what actually happens.
The clay body shifts between dry, almost raw sections and denser, glossier surfaces. In some places the ash has melted into the clay and formed a thin, glazed surface. In others it remains as streaks or shifts on the surface. The colours move between earth, iron and muted tones of shino glaze.
The differences between the two kilns aren’t entirely clear-cut. One gives a more unified expression with softer transitions. The other works more directly and leaves heavier traces of ash and clearer movement across the surface. Curious about the firing process? You can read more about it here.
The gallery is open during the Easter art walk in Österlen from Good Friday.
