'Plane 3' Sculpture

$420.00 AUD

Mặt phẳng is a series of ceramic sculptures made in response to potsherds displayed at Bảo tàng Lịch sử Quốc gia in Hà Nội. The fragments, recovered from shipwreck salvage, are broken bodies in which time is condensed, imprinted on the surface.

Each work begins with a single, very thin base coil. From that first ring, the form rises gradually through the stacking of further coils, each one pinched into the next until a shallow upright plane is formed. It is a precarious structure, with exposed edges and little support beyond the tension of its own construction. The surface is then stained with thin layers of glaze, broken by incised lines that echo the abraded skin of the fragments.

In both process and form, the sculptures gravitate toward the condition of the sherd, a material trace of time lodged, where temporality is sedimented in matter.

Please choose your pieces carefully as all purchases at pépite are final.

gốm maker is the ceramic practice of Thannie Phan, a Vietnamese artist and potter born in Kien Giang and who grew up in Sai Gon & Singapore, lived in Auckland & Sydney and is now based in Naarm.

Thannie's practice is a physical interpretation of the stories she writes about where she is, where she was, and the people surrounding her. The works are hand-built by pinching coils, glazed by brushing or stamping. The vessels are light, the edges are raw and the palette is restrained.
