@studio_florero Neriage Florero | Vase

Neriage is a ceramic decorating technique that involves mixing different colored clay. Through layering, twisting, and polishing to creat unique and natural textures. Differences in the coefficient of expansion among different clays may cause cracks during the firing process. It's impossible to fully control the patterns in Neriage, yet this is precisely what makes this technique valuable and unique. The unpredictable blue crystallization on the matte gray surface becomes the unique feature of this piece. Even with identical shapes and firing methods, the glaze on the clay body can never be replicated exactly. This is why I appreciate this medium. The soft blue and gray colors resemble clouds drifting gently in the autumn sky. This glaze emits a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere, ideal for enhancing spaces with a touch of serenity. When used for flower arrangements, the subdued shades of gray and blue also serve as perfect complements to floral foliage. 【Notice】 1. Despite identical shapes and glaze colors, each piece may vary slightly due to handcrafting. Variations in clay type, glaze application, and firing temperatures contribute to unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 2. Photos may have slight color differences compared to the actual objects. crackle, pores, and small particles in the glaze during firing are normal occurrences and do not affect usability. Due to handmade production, there may be slight discrepancies in size and glaze color even for the same product. Please refer to the received items for accuracy.

However, the intention isn't to beautify ordinary objects or assign practical value to beauty. Through the implied meaning of "Florero," I hope to remind everyone that adorning surfaces itself holds significant importance. 【Artist Introduction】 Wu Chia Ying Born in 1990, from Taipei. "Creating aesthetically pleasing and durable vessels" is at the core of my philosophy. I do not seek to imbue ordinary objects with beauty or practical value, but rather view them as an integral part of life itself. The act of crafting and designing objects is my moment of creation. Objects designed and created by me are not vessels for grand ideas or the life journey of an author; a competent object, whether a cup for tea or a bowl for meals, is itself a vessel for life. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53843004387_296b58920c_q.jpg Experience: - Graduated from Taiwan University of Arts, Department of Crafts, Ceramic Group, 2016 - Domaine de Boisbuchet - Matters of Clay, 2018 Exhibitions: - Group Exhibition - CRA Winter Exhibition, Taipei Artist Village, 2022 - Group Exhibition - Set Bad Vol.3, Taipei Artist Village, 2023 - Group Exhibition - 陶逸時光, Chung Yuan Cultural And Creative Park, 2024 - Solo Exhibition - Outside the Scope of Control, Jiū Space, 2023 - Solo Exhibition - The Fragments of Summer Solstice, Jiū Space, 2024
