This vessel shows a deep understanding of clay and how it can be manipulated to transform its properties. Drawing on ancient Korean techniques and methods, the vessel has been thrown on the wheel to first create a smooth exterior and then, through a series of precise carvings and cuts, it has been skilfully shaped into a faceted geometric surface. Firing in a wood-fuelled kiln has created different textures across its surface and enhanced the natural colours of the clay to complement the vessel’s sloping planes.
