The natural forces of decay
- • Jochen surpasses the traditional material limits
- • He recreates the natural aesthetic of decay
- • He combines intention with spontaneity
Through his interest in sculpture, Jochen Rüth found his way to working with clay while still in school, “I made my first hand shaped bowls and sculptural objects”. From 1981 to 1985 he had the opportunity to gain experience in three different ceramic workshops and ever since, he has been fascinated by ceramics, the closeness to the elements, playing with earth and fire. Jochen recreates decay and weathering by taming the elements, and using them to create striking visual effects. A traditional education in ceramics would have been too limiting to his creativity and therefore was incompatible with his urge to experiment. Since 1986 he has followed an unorthodox way of making.
