About the art
Artist statement
The Ashes_Early vase is made out of rubber.
A novel type of materiality was developed through combining the newest production techniques with handcraft.
The process utilises 3D printing, rubber rotation casting and freehand modelling to produce a flowing, matte surface overlayed with a sparkling pattern of jewel-like dots.

The expressive power of withering was commonly used to represent the idea of vanitas in art, particularly in Flemish painting.
Ashes is a series of rubber vases which reinterprets this concept for the context of the modern household, acknowledging both beauty and transience of life.
