Eloquently linked, this series of ceramic chains transforms a weighted conceptual construction, to something much more delicate. When lifted, the links lightly graze one another, producing a soft whisper of a sound.
Vanessa Ilene Beard is a ceramicist working out of Detroit, MI. Her ceramics are hand-built, slowly and meticulously, without the use of a potter's wheel. A self-taught artist, her practice intuitively explores form and self-expression via tactile objects.
Note: these items are all handmade. Pieces may contain inconsistencies such as surface cracks that are visible as per the artist's intention.
