Series: The Ideational Egg
“The Ideational Egg” is a series that delves into the genesis of artistic creation, symbolizing the inception of the creative journey. Through the metaphor of the egg, the series encapsulates the intricate and often tumultuous process an artist undergoes—navigating intuitions, trials, and thoughts—before a work of art materializes. Crafted in porcelain, each piece presents a philosophical dialogue, suggesting that beneath the seemingly harmonious surface of an art object lies a complex, restless thought process. This process, marked by moments of inspiration, allows the essence of the artwork to emerge.The interior of the Egg reveals a universe of forms, symbolizing the artist’s explorations of creation. These forms contrast with the smooth exterior, representing the artist’s aspirations and the idealized vision of the final work. The juxtaposition of geometric shapes with organic forms reflects a blend of structured thinking and the chaotic nature of creativity. Executed through techniques such as hand building, slip casting, and ceramic collage, each piece is meticulously glazed and fired at 1200°C, embodying the tension between order and spontaneity that defines the creative process.
