But none of this would happen if it wasn't for the maker's hands.
Grôpk – meaning no more than a pot in Kashubian, a vernacular language of Poland's eastern Pomerania – was created because of the enticement and excitement by the human hand that makes ceramics – a brand of artisanal vessels and a gentle tribute to the pieces that display their maker's mark.
Grôpk ceramics are made from earth, sun and fire and hand-crafted with utmost respect to these elements.
In harmony with the primordial technique they are made with, the pieces evoke all that is organic rather than man-made and tell stories of Neolithic cultures, organic matter and times long before civilisation.
Karst
My work is moving toward the frontier, where time meets nature. Ceramics, once fired are almost eternal, but I am tempted to subject them to the elements. What would happen if my works were exposed to water, minerals and time? What new forms could emerge from this slow, transformative interaction?
