Moon Granite II vase by Sophie ParacheyDimensions: W 17 x D 20 x H 30 cmMaterials: Black textured stoneware (large chamotte).Inspired by extended stays in Central America, Sophie Parachey’s work questions transformation, the antagonism between the ancestral and the modern, and our relationship to the living world. Sophie intentionally handcrafts her ceramic artwork in stoneware or handpicked clay. Each piece expresses itself with its curves, textures, and resonances. Rough or smooth, they embody a paradoxical realm. Unrefined and primitive forms,reminiscent of organic magma flow, blend with softer, delicate, and more subtle shapes. A new balance seems to emerge from this surprising combination.
