Description: 

Made from stoneware, this tea bowl features a scratched textured porcelain slip and a matte glaze showcasing Lindenberg’s ability to elegantly balance complex textures with a finely sculpted jaggedness, reflecting the artist’s interest in natural geomorphic forms and influence from the Japanese aesthetic theory of wabi-sabi – an appreciation for beauty in imperfection. Her works evoke at once intimate personal stories and the vastness of nature.
