The Bottom of the Lake – Vase in Ceramic and Lava Stone

A long, narrow stone tile forms the base of The Bottom of the Lake. From its surface emerge three small elements a bowl, a vessel, and a stone fused directly into the form and finished together in a deep black glaze.
These shapes evoke objects resting quietly beneath water: fragments of a landscape preserved in stillness. The piece becomes a small topography of memory, recalling what remains after a lake disappears traces, sediments, forms that endure beneath the surface of time.

Both sculpture and vessel, it suggests a quiet archaeology of the everyday.
