This porcelain vase is part of Arkadiusz Szwed’s continued research into form and structure. Arkadiusz uses non-obvious everyday objects to create a mould. This time, the objects of interest were balloons, which are used to make balloon animals, adored by children. As a result, the vase is organic in its form, evoking associations with the guts of an undefined living organism.

This sculptural porcelain piece results from a mould casting made by drilling random holes into a plaster block. This destructive process introduces an element of randomness, which in a world of constant control and striving for perfection, allows us to see everyday objects in a different light. In the firmly established age of polarisation between perfection and imperfection, Arkadiusz Szwed searches for his own way to freely explore the possibilities of the material he works with.

This sculptural porcelain piece is part of a set of ceramic objects created as the result of an experiment with a new, personal technique of porcelain casting. As part of the process, plastic balls are pushed under an elastic fabric, which is pulled over a plaster model, allowing the balls to be moved around freely. This intervention randomly shapes the form. This technique allows the formation of moulds using a method similar to that provided by 3D printing tools.

This sculptural porcelain piece was created as the result of an experiment with a new, personal technique of porcelain casting. Wooden rollers are pushed under an elastic fabric, which is pulled over a plaster model, allowing the rollers to be moved around freely. This intervention randomly shapes the form. This technique allows the formation of moulds using a method similar to that provided by 3D printing tools, however it is fully analogue.
