MY CREATIVE PROCESS
The Beauty of Imperfection:
Embracing the Marks of Handcrafted Art
“I appreciate the inherent nature of materials, the imperfection. I’m drawn to the marks left by handmade work: fingerprints, clamp marks, or dripping glaze.
I always intervene in these marks to harmonize them with the piece from my perspective. I want the object to reflect its production process without losing aesthetics, paying attention to every detail and its beauty.
For me, this truly distinguishes handmade items from industrially produced ones.
When I see such a piece, you can imagine some of the steps in its creation. As they say, ‘it tells a story,’ though I prefer to think of it as a tangible explanation of its making process.”
