Description:
Carved from stoneware, glazed in iron black and a secondary reactive glaze to form a multilayered surface, this yunomi elegantly balances complex textures with a finely sculpted jaggedness, reflecting the artist’s interest in natural geomorphic forms and textures. Influenced by the Japanese aesthetic theory of wabi-sabi - an appreciation for beauty in imperfection - Lindenberg’s work evokes at once intimate personal stories and the vastness of nature.
