Geode

This delicate porcelain and stoneware clay sculpture was inspired by the growth and formation of geodes. Mette Maya Gregersen wanted to explore the natural design of quartz, dolomite and iron oxides. To do so, she used soft materials such as clay, which she pinched and delicately placed on a wall of stoneware rock. The contrast between the inner and outer surface of the sculpture evokes how geodes in nature only become apparent when the rock is cut in half.
