Based on a traditional Korean moon jar, this voluminous vessel updates the ceramic tradition by transposing it to metalwork. It has been created by spot welding sheets of copper plate, which have then been coated with porcelain to create a richly coloured surface. Its undulating organic form creates a sense of buckling and swelling, as though the vessel is expanding. Welding tracks on the surface reveal the repeated actions that have led to the object’s creation.
