Overview
In the 1260 degree glaze kiln, the sculptures are brought to life and given their own unique expression.
Åsa Johansson (b.1992 in Gothenburg) examines the basic geometric shapes in the ceramic process. She is working with casting techniques and exploring the primary forms, challenging the material, and pushing the clay norms to their edge. By relating to geometry, she defies herself to create these precise forms in ceramics. Åsa combines soft and colorful glazes on the surface with a strict body that juxtaposes each other. The artist plays with the equilibrium found between each form, while crating a harmoniously balanced sculpture.
