FLUX

The world around us is always moving, but our minds desperately want things to stay still. Flux uses clay to explore that struggle – a material that permanently holds onto human force, repetitive touch and constant manual correction.

The design of this sculpture is the exact markings of an eagle ray. In nature, these perfect patterns grow effortlessly. But inside this studio, that natural order is replaced by a intense human effort. Many individual pieces are multiplied by hand to try and force a sense of stability onto the clay. Yet, the final object refuses to lock down; it feels unsteady and fluid. It’ stand at the breaking point where our need to control everything runs face-first into the reality that nothing stays the same.
