An exploration of form.
Kristen lives in her own goddamn house in Paoli, Pennsylvania and converts half of her residence into an artists' studio - glazing pieces in the kitchen and firing in the kiln in the laundry room. Her work is dark and whimsical - marrying the concepts of death and magic into everyday household talisman.
All ceramic pieces are handmade and one of a kind - made by using only slab construction and hand building techniques. As a result all the pieces have a beauty that is asymmetrical & imperfect - mirroring everyday life by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.
“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
