Description: 

Carved from a grey clay and glazed in a mid green glaze, this tea bowl elegantly balances complex textures with a finely sculpted jaggedness, reflecting the artist’s interest in natural geomorphic forms, colours and textures. Influenced by the Japanese aesthetic theory of wabi-sabi - an appreciation for beauty in imperfections - Lindenberg’s works evoke at once intimate personal stories and the vastness of nature.
