Roman Šedina's vases celebrate emptiness. Even without flowers, they are full of life, seeming to bear their nakedness proudly. It is as if the material is both a tool and a product. "When I first encountered clay, I was fascinated. The first touch, the initial trials and setbacks led me to strongly admire it, sparking an intense desire to comprehend this material," she says. Šedina's processing of clay is intriguing. Touching the objects, one can't tell the era of their genesis: simple shapes coated with a grainy, sometimes glazed texture, caked knots of clay and tangible imperfections. These could come from neolith, antiquity, present or even future. Decorated with distinctive colours, the vases exhibit their earthy origin with both modesty and pride.
