ann van hoey’s ceramic serenity

Sign up here to receive the DAM newsletter.

It’s Friday and I’m craving serenity, calm and minimalism.  Ceramic artist Ann Van Hoey’s latest work fits today’s criteria. Van Hoey cuts thin semi circles of wet clay, joining them together to form a basic bowl shape before she begins the transformation.

Watch the video below to see how she brings a bowl from its original state to the origami-inspired earthenware sculpture that has become her signature.

“Ann Van Hoey uses the three-dimensional world to explore bold encounters between the circle and the square, the triangle, the straight line and the point, taking care to reconcile their divergences.” From the artist’s website

    I love the elegant simplicity of her work!

    I homeschool my three children and used Ann’s video to compliment our art lesson today – thanks for the link!
