border control (2016), stoneware, included in Maquette, Ustka, Poland.
“Maquette” is an installation guided by the concept of sketching with clay, thinking with the hand and using ceramics as a tool for design and architectural thought. During my residency at the Centre for Creative Activities, I explored and studied the local architecture in Ustka and neighbouring Słupsk. The exhibition is a collection of sculptural ceramic maquettes influenced by these built forms. This exploration involves a search for new architectural understanding, attempting to reveal invisible architectural forms and uncover unrecognised spatial concepts.
